The Great Degeneration

Ferguson draws parallels between historical patterns and recent trends, but I'm curious what motivated this specific angle. Was there a particular event or period that sparked his analysis?

While the historical context was compelling, I wondered if some cases could have used more nuance or specific detail. Did others feel the same or see a different pattern?

The book outlines the problems clearly, but I'm interested in whether he offers concrete solutions or ways to reverse some of these trends. What stood out in his recommendations?
