James Black's book, When Nations Die, lists 10 trends of dying nations:
Social decay
- the crisis of lawlessness
- loss of economic discipline
- rising bureaucracy
Cultural decay
- decline of education
- weakening of cultural foundations
- loss of respect for tradition
- increase in materialism
Moral decay
- rise in immorality
- decay of religious belief
- devaluing of human life
He studies many ancient empires, and compares the USA with them. We do not fare well at all.
