Re: Collapse of systems

> I am interested in writing an essay on the collapse phenomena of
social systems ( world systems or political systems). Can somebody give
me
some hints, brief review or books on the topics?

Yoffee, Norman and George L. Cowgill (eds.) The Collapse of Ancient
States and Civilizations. University of Arizona Press 1988

Tainter, Joseph A. 1988 The Collapse of Complex Societies. Cambridge
Univ. Press.

Also Spengler, Sorokin, Toynbee and Carroll Quigley (The Evolution of
Civilizations).

Collapses are part of the normal development of social systems.
