Any explanation of political collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all complex societies in both the present and future. Dr Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of collapse and reviews more than 2000 years of explanations. He then develops a new and far-reaching theory.

Uma lente indispensável sobre a sustentabilidade sistémica

Tiago Pinto

Tainter oferece uma tese brilhante e contracorrente: as sociedades não colapsam por misticismo ou fatalidade, mas sim pelo retorno marginal decrescente dos seus investimentos em complexidade para resolver problemas. Uma análise cirúrgica, baseada em dados e rigor histórico, essencial para compreender a resiliência e os limites dos sistemas modernos, com linguagem surpreendentemente clara, precisa e direta.
