Fifteen Policy Prescriptions for Relevance

Colin Read

Chapter 31 in The Rise and Fall of an Economic Empire, 2010, pp 271-280 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We can take this study of the economic history of empires and prescribe certain qualities that will dictate ascendancy and predict a subsequent decline. The path of empiredom and subsequent decline may sound like a dismal prophecy. However, I view an understanding of patterns repeated as an opportunity to avoid repeating the past. Knowledge allows one to determine a course that may slow the pace of decline, and may perhaps even reverse it.
