Can too many elites push America toward collapse?
America doesn't need another civil war to fall apart.
In End Times, Peter Turchin argues that one of America's biggest threats may come from within: too many people competing for elite status, while ordinary Americans struggle to get ahead.
From college admissions and shrinking opportunities to political polarization and Washington's dysfunction, Zac explores how a powerful nation can slowly become unstable—and whether America can still change course.
