Enter the social/economic repeated "cycles" ....The HIGH, The AWAKENING, The UNRAVELLING, The CRISIS
The Etruscans and the Romans described this as the saeculum.
Interesting to think that we are currently "IN THE THICK" of those predictions....

Podcast: HARDCORE HISTORY by Dan Carlin
Journalist, broadcaster and in my eyes (ears!), a master narrator with a very unorthodox approach to history: Was Alexander The Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilisations ever fall like civilisations from the past?
You get the drift. This man is a compelling story-teller. Enjoy!
