A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Born: June 24, 1848, Quincy, Massachusetts, United States Died: February 13, 1927, Boston, Massachusetts, United States Parents: Abigail Brown Brooks, Charles Francis Adams Sr. Siblings: Henry Adams Education: Harvard University, Harvard Law School Adams believed that commercial civilizations rise and fall in predictable cycles. First, masses of people draw together in large population centers and engage in commercial activities. As their desire for wealth grows, they discard spiritual and creative values. Their greed leads to distrust and dishonesty, and eventually the society crumbles. In The Law of Civilization and Decay (1895),[2] Adams noted that as new population centers emerged in the west, centers of world trade shifted from Constantinople to Venice to Amsterdam to London. He predicted in America's Economic Supremacy (1900) that New York would become the center of world trade.
