You've heard about the Death of the West. But the Muslim world is on the brink of an even greater collapse. Thanks to collapsing birthrates, much of Europe is on a path of self-extinction. The untold story is that birthrates in Muslim nations are also declining, in some cases faster than anywhere else--at a rate never before documented.
Europe, even in its decline, may have the resources to support an aging population, if at a terrible economic and cultural cost. But in the impoverished Islamic world, an aging population means a civilization on the brink of total collapse-- something Islamic terrorists know and fear.
Muslim decline poses new threats to America, challenges we cannot even understand, much less face effectively, without a wholly new kind of political analysis that explains how desperate peoples and nations behave. In "How Civilizations Die," David P. Goldman--author of the "Spengler" column read by intelligence organizations worldwide--reveals how, almost unnoticed, massive shifts in global power are remaking our future. Goldman reveals:
- How extinctions of peoples, cultures, and civilizations are not unthinkable--but certain
- How for the first time in world history, the birthrate in the West has fallen below replacement level
- Why birthrates in the Muslim world are falling even faster
- Why the "Arab Spring" is the precursor of much more violent change in the Islamic world
- Why looming demographic collapse may encourage Islamic terrorists to "go for broke"
- How the United States can survive the coming world turmoil |
