Paperback. Condizione: New. What can the fall of Rome teach us about the decline of the West today? A historian and a political economist, both experts in their field, investigateOver the last three centuries, the West rose to dominate the planet. Then, suddenly, around the turn of the millennium, history reversed. Faced with economic stagnation and internal political division, the West has found itself in rapid decline.This is not the first time the global order has witnessed such a dramatic rise and fall. The Roman Empire followed a similar arc from dizzying power to disintegration - a fact that is more than a strange historical coincidence. In Why Empires Fall, historian Peter Heather and political economist John Rapley use this Roman past to think anew about the contemporary West, its state of crisis, and what paths we could take out of it.In this exceptional, transformative intervention, Heather and Rapley explore the uncanny parallels - and productive differences - between the two cases, moving beyond the familiar tropes of invading barbarians and civilizational decay to learn new lessons from ancient history. From 399 to 1999, the life cycles of empires, they argue, sow the seeds of their inevitable destruction. The era of western global domination has reached its end - so what comes next. …

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Durante los últimos tres siglos, Occidente extendió inexorablemente su domino sobre el planeta. Pero, de repente, con el cambio de milenio, este rumbo parece haberse invertido. Enfrentado a un escenario de estancamiento económico, división política y retroceso demográfico, Occidente parece precipitarse hacia un acelerado declive. No es la primera vez que la historia asiste a un ascenso y a una caída tan vertiginosos. El Imperio romano siguió una trayectoria similar, desde el poder cuasi omnímodo hasta la desintegración, algo que, tal y como este libro argumenta, es más que una curiosa coincidencia histórica. Desde el 399 al 1999, los ciclos vitales de los imperios siembran las semillas de su inevitable destrucción. Y si la era de la dominación mundial de Occidente ha llegado a su fin, ¿ahora qué? En ¿Por qué caen los imperios? Roma, Estados Unidos y el futuro de Occidente, el historiador Peter Heather, experto en la Tardoantigüedad, y el economista político John Rapley exploran los extraños paralelismos ?y las no menos esclarecedoras diferencias? entre el declive y caída de Roma y la crisis que vivimos en Occidente, yendo más allá de los tópicos familiares acerca de invasiones bárbaras y decadencia de la civilización, para extraer nuevas lecciones de la historia antigua. Si el ascenso de Roma al dominio mundial sirve para comprender el auge del Occidente moderno, su colapso permite identificar las claves de dicho proceso, y reflexionar sobre el surgimiento de pujantes periferias que desplazan al antes todopoderoso centro. En un lúcido y penetrante diálogo, los autores emplean la historia romana para considerar el momento actual y los posibles escenarios que se nos abren. A la postre, tal y como nos explica el pasado, el futuro de Occidente dependerá de las elecciones políticas y económicas que se nosotros y nuestros líderes tomemos en los años cruciales que se avecinan. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
