Publisher's Summary
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.

AA is, to my mind, one the most level headed and well read thinkers of our time.
Great balance of eloquent, but easily understood language when describing oft misunderstood political theories and historical events.

Lots of information, presented very well.
A great introduction to these authors. An incredible amount of research summarised very well.
Thank you. The narrator was an excellent choice and did a wonderful job. His voice added gravitas to the author’s thesis.
