How Civilizations Die

From David P. Goldman, aka “Spengler,” comes a trenchant geopolitical analysis with some startling conclusions.  Among them is a picture of Islam in decline due to precipitously falling fertility rates and a fatal clash with modernity. Europe is well on its way toward economic ruin as well, says Goldman, although the U.S., with its rapidly growing immigration population, will be in a commanding position to fulfill the demand for services and manufactured goods that an increasingly prosperous Asia, South America and India will demand.   Click here for the full interview with Frontpage.

    Goldman’s book is an exceptional piece of work. It’s all in the numbers. Fertility rates are declining across the globe. Western Europe, Japan and the Middle East will face a future with a significant drop in productive citizens against a tremendous increase independent seniors. And, like watching a train wreck from a distance, there is nothing we can do to change the outcome.

    Only the US and Israel are industrialized nations that buck the trend. In 30 years – Israel will have more men of military service age than Germany!

    I think the US and China will be forced into becoming friends much like the way post war Japan and Germany and the USA did.
