The Long Descent

A User's Guide To The End Of The Industrial Age

BY JOHN GREER

Brief Description:
Greer believes that Industrial society is following a path into gradual decline, a much slower and more complex transformation than the sudden catastrophes imagined by so many social critics today. The roots of the crisis lie in the cultural stories that shape the way we understand the world. Since problems cannot be solved with the same thinking that created them, these ways of thinking need to be replaced with others better suited to the needs of our time. It is too late for massive programs for top-down change; the change must come from individuals.
