Symptoms of decline are all around us today: slowing growth, crushing debts, increasing inequality, aging populations, antisocial behavior. But what exactly has gone wrong? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues in \u003ci\u003eThe Great Degeneration\u003c\/i\u003e, is that our institutions--the intricate frameworks within which a society can flourish or fail--are degenerating. With characteristic verve and historical insight, Ferguson analyzes the causes of this stagnation and its profound consequences for the future of the West. \u003ci\u003eThe Great Degeneration\u003c\/i\u003e is an incisive indictment of an era of negligence and complacency--and to arrest the breakdown of our civilization, Ferguson warns, will take heroic leadership and radical reform.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Great Degeneration: How Institutions Decay and Economies Die | Niall Ferguson | Quality | 9780143125525 | Used: Very Good | Economics 1373546","offer_id":48415431721112,"sku":"1373546","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51XHlSACr8L.jpg?v=1773332364","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/great-degeneration-how-institutions-decay-and-economies-die","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
