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":"Paperback","offer_id":45355108696215,"sku":"9780143125525","price":1085.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143125525.webp?v=1767670457","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-great-degeneration-how-institutions-decay-and-economies-die-9780143125525","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
