Compelling, provocative arguments about our decline into complacency and disengagement as a society. We seek and protect security, avoid change and disruption....then find that we need resets and shake-ups to grow. Cyclic nature of history is more true to reality than a constant march of upward progress. The first half of the book was pretty dry with statistics and data, but the second half presented the arguments quite simply and logically. Will be reading his other books soon.
