Our ancestors avoided a dominance hierarchy. Then, around 12,000 years ago, that began to change.People became increasingly dependent on resources such as grain and fish, and the world got smaller. Human beings didnt just pick up the plough but also the sword, and if the landscape was caged, small groups began to seize control of these resources. We began to slowly, hesitantly organise ourselves into dominance hierarchies. As inequalities and hierarchies rose, so too did war. The authoritarian impulse was triggered in neighbours who now had a model to emulate, as empires rose and soared across the world. It was the combination of rampant inequality, extractive institutions, corruption and over-expansion that brought these Goliaths down: from Ancient Rome to the British Empire.Now we live in a global Goliath, full of growth-focused, extractive institutions like the fossil fuel industry, big tech, and military-industrial complexes. The global Goliath has incentivised the creation of ever faster and more interconnected systems, all of which exacerbate the severity of our fall. Whether you are worried about climate change, nuclear weapons, or over-extended, just-in-time supply chains, the answer is the same: we must learn to democratically control Goliath, or we might face a final collapse.This is the book on societal collapse that I had always hoped someone would write Walter Scheidel, author of The Great Leveler...(*_*)9781405978828_Brought to you by Penguin.A new history of humanity told through the lens of collapse, from Neanderthals to AI, and what it means for our uncertain futureFor the first 200,000 years, humanity lived in egalitarian groups and successfully thwarted any individual from ruling permanently.

Then, around 12,000 years ago, that began to change.As we reluctantly congregated in the first farms and cities, people began to rely on novel lootable resources like grain and fish for their daily sustenance. And when more powerful weapons became available, small groups began to seize control of these valuable commodities. This inequality in resources soon tipped over into inequality in power, and we started to adopt more primal, hierarchical forms of organization. Power was concentrated in masters, kings, pharaohs and emperors (and ideologies were born to justify their rule). Goliath-like states and empires with vast bureaucracies and militaries carved up and dominated the globe.What brought them down? Whether in the early cities of Cahokia in North America or Tiwanaku in South America, or the sprawling empires of Egypt, Rome and China, it was increasing inequality and concentrations of power that hollowed these Goliaths out before an external shock brought them crashing down. These collapses were written up as apocalyptic, but in truth they were usually a blessing for most of the population.Now we live in a single global Goliath. Growth obsessed, extractive institutions like the fossil fuel industry, big tech and military-industrial complexes rule our world and produce new ways of annihilating our species, from climate change to nuclear war. Our systems are now so fast, complex and interconnected that a future collapse will likely be global, swift and irreversible. All of us now face a choice: we must learn to democratically control Goliath, or the next collapse may be our last.An excellent survey of human history through the collapses of Goliath-like kings, states and empires OBSERVERA comprehensive overview of societal collapse, based on the analysis of dozens of cases spanning thousands of years from the Paleolithic to today. Highly recommended PETER TURCHINA deeply sobering and strangely inspiring history of how societies collapse - and how we can still save ours.
