Capa do Brooks Adams: The Law of Civilization and Decay: an Essay on History (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

In The Law of Civilization and Decay (1895), Adams presents his theory that historical events are determined by economic conditions. While believing that economic concerns—trade and the accumulation of wealth, for example—provided a primary impetus for civilization, he also believed that, unchecked, they invariably led to collapse.

Sobre o autor

Brooks Adams (1848-1927), the younger brother of the better-known Henry Adams, was a notable historian in his own right. In books like The Law of Civilization and Decay (1895) and America’s Economic Supremacy (1900), he espoused a theory of cyclical economic rise and fall to which all commercial civilizations are subject.
