How long will America continue to run the world? Will China surpass them in the future? Where does India fit into all this?
Questions like these can only be answered by understanding the science behind the rise and fall of civilizations. Every empire that has existed has risen to prominence; however, it eventually collapsed.
Today we are joined by Ottoman historian, Dr. Yakoob Ahmed, to discuss the factors that cause society to rise and dominate the world and the symptoms that lead to its collapse. The Ottoman Empire will be used as a case study.
