"[Ferguson's] intellectual virtuosity is refreshing. 'The Great Degeneration' won't be popular in the Obama White House or other centers of power. Jeremiah wasn't popular with the elders of Judea either. They tossed him in jail for his sedition. They had reason later to be sorry."-- The Wall Street Journal "Brilliantly written, full of wit and virtuosity, stuffed with memorable lines and gorgeous bits of information. A great read."-- The Times (London) (on Civilization ) "A dazzling history of Western ideas ... epic.."-- The Economist "This is sharp. It feels urgent. Ferguson... twists his knife with great literary brio."--Andrew Marr (on Civilization ) "A masterpiece ... fascinating facts burst like fireworks on every page."-- Sunday Times "Brings history alive for the reader with a dazzling knowledge ... peerless."-- Independent on Sunday, "[Ferguson's] intellectual virtuosity is refreshing.

Synopsis
From the bestselling author of The Ascent of Money and The Square and the Tower, a searching and provocative examination of the widespread institutional rot that threatens our collective future What causes rich countries to lose their way? 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 The Great Degeneration , 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. The Great Degeneration 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.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
