Review
The only book that improves on and develops Toynbee's work. . . . The very best work of its kind I have read in a very long time. --Crane Brinton, Harvard University
Synopsis
A comprehensive and perceptive look at the factors behind the rise and fall of civilizations. Quigley defines a civilization as "a producing society with an instrument of expansion". A civilization's decline is not inevitable but occurs when its instrument of expansion is transformed into an institution-that is, when social arrangements that meet real social needs are transformed into social institutions serving their own purposes regardless of real social needs.
