Publisher's Synopsis
""What Killed Prosperity: In Every State From Ancient Rome To The Present"" is a thought-provoking book written by David Graham Hutton. The book explores the reasons behind the decline of prosperity in various states throughout history, from Ancient Rome to the present day. Hutton argues that there are common factors that have contributed to the downfall of once-thriving societies, including corruption, inequality, and a lack of innovation. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different states and periods of history, including the Roman Empire, medieval Europe, and modern-day America. Hutton provides detailed analysis of each state's economic and political systems, as well as the social and cultural factors that may have contributed to their decline. He also offers insights into how these lessons from history can be applied to modern-day societies to prevent similar declines in the future. Overall, ""What Killed Prosperity"" is a well-researched and engaging book that offers a fresh perspective on the factors that lead to the decline of prosperity in societies. It is recommended for anyone interested in history, economics, and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
