National Collapse

Social, political, and economic conditions in the United States are deteriorating. So far we have experienced a gradual decline. However, the dynamic of slow decay is extremely unlikely to continue. Instead, more generalized and rapid collapse, with attendant poverty, chaos, and violence will occur. Much of our society remains in the position of the proverbial "frog in a pot", not realizing that the water we are sitting in has subtly shifted from comfortably warm to dangerously hot.
Normalcy bias clouds our ability to see the crisis at hand. National Collapse explores the fundamental causes of our national decline, the trigger points at which collapse will accelerate, and the historical precedents that provide insight into the shape our collapse may take.
