3.3
Religion & Spiritualitet
Past and present civilizations fail for many reasons, but the number one predictor of a civilization’s survival is its sense of religion—or lack thereof. So argues First Things columnist David Goldman in How Civilizations Die (and Why Islam Is Dying Too). The strength of a civilization’s religion affects its purpose, its fertility rate, and ultimately, its fate, says Goldman—who then argues that, contrary to popular belief, Islamic countries are in the last throes of death while Christian America is in a position to flourish. Goldman goes on to say that America must embrace our exceptionalism and stop trying to save Muslim countries that are determined to destroy themselves. Original, stunning, and provocative, How Civilizations Die shows the power of religion to save—or doom—a society and why, if we stick to our principles, we will emerge as leader of another American century.

Interesting book although much if the book does not really related to the collapse of civilization. 1/4 of it was just a critic of Islam.

En intressant och bildad bok. I synnerhet Sprenglers ande vilar över texten. Men, på slutet även Augustinus. Dock blir jag lite bekymrad över användandet av statistik. Skulle Tysklands befolkning ha minskat med 93 % om c:a 200 år. Förgäves har jag letat stöd på annat håll fär denna häpnadsväckande siffra. Helst skulle jag ha velat läsa boken med ögonen. Den notapparat som följer med det skulle ha underlättat faktakontrollen.
