Symptoms of decline are all around us today: slowing growth, crushing debts, increasing inequality, aging populations, antisocial behavior. But what exactly has gone wrong? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues in \u003ci\u003eThe Great Degeneration\u003c\/i\u003e, is that our institutions—the intricate frameworks within which a society can flourish or fail—are degenerating. With characteristic verve and historical insight, Ferguson analyzes the causes of this stagnation and its profound consequences for the future of the West. \u003ci\u003eThe Great Degeneration\u003c\/i\u003e is an incisive indictment of an era of negligence and complacency—and to arrest the breakdown of our civilization, Ferguson warns, will take heroic leadership and radical reform.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62243912909187,"sku":"9780143125525","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780143125525.jpg?v=1785404099","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-great-degeneration-9780143125525","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
