The end-of-year wraps declared 2016 "the worst... ever." Four even more, troubling years later, the question of our apocalypse had devolved into a tired social media cliché. But when, COVID-19 hit, journalist and professor of public policy Andrew Potter started to wonder: what if The End isn't one big event, but a long series of smaller ones? In On Decline, Potter surveys the current problems and likely future of Western civilization (spoiler: it's not great). Economic stagnation and the slowing of scientific innovation. Falling birth rates and environmental degradation. The devastating effects of cultural nostalgia and the havoc wreaked by social media on public discourse. Most acutely, the various failures of Western governments in their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the legacy of the Enlightenment and its virtues, reason, logic, science, evidence, has run its course, how and why has it happened? And, where do we go from here?
