WHY CIVILIZATIONS FALL And Cannot Rise Again: THE NATURAL EVOLUTION OF CAPITAL ECONOMIES AND THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCES OF CULTURAL ENTROPY (Ralph Bourne)

By Ralph Bourne

Book Overview

Historians commonly cite natural disasters and foreign invasions to explain cultural collapses. The human family, however, is specifically designed to overcome and adapt to difficult circumstances. The problem is human division. What invisible forces, over long, long time periods, divide and destroy the human family? What malignant forces cause irreconcilable conflicts and deter human families from reuniting to solve mutual problems? These forces are unnoticed because they work over extended periods of time, beyond the short lifespans and understandings of ordinary humans. What are these inhuman forces exactly? And how, specifically, do they destroy human cultures?
In police investigations, following the capital flow (the money) often leads investigators to important facts-such as, why crimes are committed and who the criminals are. Most crimes are disputes over capital. Indeed, following the capital flow, seeking the facts, is the intent of this book. We hope to encounter the true criminals of history. The conclusions should be irrefutable and obvious. But to be thorough, we need to start at the beginning, the true beginning of capital exchanges: This original capital economy, the economy of life, started long before humans arrived, billions of years ago. So we will begin 4.1 billion years ago at the origin of capital economies on earth. The discussion will include the ancient civilizations of Greece, Rome, China, The Khmer, The Maya, The Anasazi, Europe, Ottomans, Africa, and the Americas. Why did they fall? Why did they fail to rise again? And finally, how do the natural forces of cultural entropy continue to impact modern civilizations today?
