Synopsis

Described by Charles Beard as “among the outstanding documents of intellectual history in the United States, and, in a way, in the Western world,” The Law of Civilization and Decay presents a theory of history as essentially cyclical, progressing from barbarism to civilization, the fragile zenith of human development, before collapsing under its own weight. This cycle is intertwined with the oscillation of mass human psychology between fearful imagination and greed, which empowers differing social classes throughout the course of the historical cycle.

Unlike other public domain publishers that use poor formatting or original document scans, works by Ink River Publishing are always completely re-typeset and come with a preface and footnotes to explain the context of the author and their work.
