Former and present civilizations failed and are unsuccessful for most reasons, but the number-one predictor of any civilization's survival is its sense of religion-or absence thereof. So argues First Things columnist David Goldman in How Civilizations Die (and Why Islam Is Dying Too). The strength of a civilization's religion affects its goal, its fertility rate, and inevitably, its fate, says Goldman-who then argues that, contrary to popular belief, Islamic countries are within the last throes of fatality while Christian America is in a position to flourish. Goldman continues on to state that America must accept our exceptionalism and stop trying to save Muslim countries that are identified to demolish themselves. Original, stunning, and provocative, How Civilizations Die shows the energy of religion to save-or doom-a culture and just why, if we stick to our guidelines, we will emerge as leader of another American century.
