About this listen
Past and present civilizations failed and fail for many reasons, but the number-one predictor of a civilization’s survival is its sense of religion—or lack thereof. So argues First Things columnist David Goldman in How Civilizations Die (and Why Islam Is Dying Too).
The strength of a civilization’s religion affects its purpose, its fertility rate, and ultimately, its fate, says Goldman—who then argues that, contrary to popular belief, Islamic countries are in the last throes of death while Christian America is in a position to flourish. Goldman goes on to say that America must embrace our exceptionalism and stop trying to save Muslim countries that are determined to destroy themselves.
Original, stunning, and provocative, How Civilizations Die shows the power of religion to save—or doom—a society and why, if we stick to our principles, we will emerge as leader of another American century.

The answers lie in the roots
The book gives an insight into as to why in spite of us being in this ultra modern Era some social groups or even nations can never be made to change the retrograde mindset and that can never lead to progression of any sorts.

largely correct except on china
It has been over a decade since this book was published. To its credit, it has been successfull in predicting many of the things mentioned herein. Let us see when the militant political islam collapses, as this author has predicted. But the author has vastly underestimated the dangers from the aggressive regime of the ccp.
And yes, the obama tenure was disastrous in many areas. It reversed the progress made in many areas of geo politics.

Repetitive and narrow minded
Couldn't get past chapter two. Says the same thing in ten different ways. Solution to all problems according to the author is for everyone to have more kids.
