| SUMMARY | |
| Summary | The decline of the West is something that has long been prophesied. Symptoms of decline are all around us today, it seems: slowing growth, crushing debts, aging populations, anti-social behaviour. The author argues that our institutions - the intricate frameworks within which a society can flourish or fail - are degenerating. |
