About this listen

Linear and progressive views of history have dominated the popular imagination for the past seventy years in a worldview wedded to the inexorable rise of globalization and GDP growth at any cost. However, the end of the Cold War failed to produce the end of history as hoped, a fact brought home to many by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Material wealth and progress in the name of social justice have not made people happier or more united but quite the opposite. Anxiety, depression, fearfulness, sadness, loneliness and anger have all massively increased since 1970 with the male suicide rate at an all-time high.

Western society seems to be divided against itself across every line conceivable: left versus right, women versus men, non-whites versus whites, globalists versus populists, the elites versus the people, people who think that men can be women and vice versa versus those who insist that they cannot, and so on.

Seventy-three percent of Americans believe their country is on the wrong track, with similar views reflected in Britain and across Europe. The Prophets of Doom explores eleven thinkers who not only dared to contradict the dominant linear and progressive view of history, but also predicted many of the political and social maladies through which we are living.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great introduction to studies of civilisation and forgotten thinkers. Thought provoking and worth coming back to in future.

This book will up your IQ and obliterate your current beliefs about how the world works and where it is heading. Such underrated authors examined you won't get in any university. Because of this you will have the edge over those unwittingly spewing the veiled, outdated and fixed, globo-university regime-agendas. When debating those people after you study this book you will easily upset them and they will run away after calling you all kinds of names. I've listened to some chapters several times already, and will listen to them over again. The writing is of exceptional academic calibre, not too heavy; not dry, and not at all too light or fluffy; there's a good sense of humour in there as well. It's all to be expected from this guy and i am keenly awaiting his next book.

This book is an excellent overview of multiple authors, and through comparative analysis identifies the most accurate aspects each 'prophecy of doom'.
The only negative is that the narrator butchers the pronunciation of the occasional name, such as Mises'.
