Description
5000 years, 5 continents, 37 countries!
They thought prosperity would last forever.
They were wrong.
The authors examine the phenomenon of economic catastrophes in different historical periods—from Ancient Egypt to the present day. Special attention is paid to the “resource curse”: using vivid, engaging examples from the history of different countries, the authors show how natural resources, geographic location, traditions, problematic neighbors, and even people themselves can become a “curse” and lead to the collapse of an economy.
This research will interest everyone who’s been captivated by the works of philosopher and futurist Yuval Noah Harari, by reflections on risks and “antifragility” from Nassim Taleb, as well as the previous bestseller by Andrey Movchan, “Russia in the Age of Post-Truth.”
