520    Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is
       loosed upon the world. Although writing nearly a century 
       ago, William Butler Yeats could easily be describing the 
       United States today. The central feature of today's 
       geopolitical landscape is the imminent decline and fall of
       America's global empire, and our response to it will 
       determine much of our future, with implications reaching 
       far beyond the limits of the United States' borders. 
       Decline and Fall: The End of Empire and the Future of 
       Democracy in 21st Century America challenges the 
       conventional wisdom of empire. John Michael Greer uses a 
       wealth of historical examples combined with groundbreaking
       original analysis to show how, in the pursuit of political
       and economic power, the United States has backed itself 
       into a corner, explores the inevitable consequences of 
       imperial collapse, and argues that the only constructive 
       way forward is a renewal of democratic institutions. 
       Rather than asking whether today's American empire should 
       survive, Greer shifts the conversation to whether it can 
       survive, and argues persuasively that the answer to the 
       latter question is "no." An invaluable contribution to the
       body of speculative post-industrial literature, this book 
       is a must-read for anyone worried about the state of the 
       Union, or who thinks that it is time to reinvent the 
       American Dream. John Michael Greer is a scholar of 
       ecological history, an internationally renowned Peak Oil 
       theorist, and the author of more than thirty books 
       including The Long Descent.
