The Fate of Empires analyzes many of the commonly held traits of the world’s historic empires and demonstrates how the presence or absence of these can determine the outcome of these societies. The author isolates two main forces operating in advanced civilizations: the urge to reproduce as well as competition among members of society.

I'm an avid reader, and former English teacher; I can usually discover a thesis, even if it is poorly constructed. After listening to this entire book I am still waiting for a thesis. This book does contain some long-winded ramblings about eugenics, race, and family dynamics that don't seem to tie together in a way that would not help anyone understand the fate of empires. I feel like I just listened to someone's uncle rant about Rome and China.
If you want to look at this from a perspective of volume; this is a book that claims to explain the fall of Rome AND Chinese history in... 6 hours.
