Alie Ward👍 Recommends
…introducing the episode topic and main guest expert on societal collapse
“What is your Roman Empire? It's about to be this episode. What causes the big dogs to stumble and fall? Do societies collapse suddenly, or would one notice as it happens? What *is* a complex society – and is it better than a simple one? Depends on who you ask, and we went straight to the source: the legendary anthropologist, scholar, historian and author of "The Collapse of Complex Societies," Dr. Joseph Tainter.”
