Upheaval: Turning Points for Nations in Crisis
By Jared Diamond
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the Arab Spring, and the rise of Donald Trump, it's clear that the world is in a state of upheaval. But what does this mean for the future of our planet? In his new book, Upheaval, Jared Diamond, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, explores the factors that can lead to a nation's collapse, and the ways in which societies can respond to crises and emerge stronger.

Drawing on examples from around the world, Diamond argues that there are five main factors that can lead to a nation's collapse: environmental stress, climate change, economic inequality, political polarization, and foreign aggression. When these factors come together, they can create a perfect storm that can overwhelm a society and lead to its downfall.
However, Diamond also argues that there is hope. He points to examples of societies that have successfully responded to crises and emerged stronger. These societies have typically been able to do so by developing strong institutions, investing in education, and promoting social cohesion.
Upheaval is a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the challenges facing our own society today. Diamond offers no easy answers, but he does provide a framework for understanding the risks we face and the steps we need to take to build a more resilient future.
