"Peter Turchin, who teaches at the University of Connecticut, follows
Tainter in positing a single, transhistorical mechanism leading to
collapse, though he is far more willing than Tainter to voice specific —
and occasionally alarmist — predictions. In Turchin’s case the key is the
loss of “social resilience,” a society’s ability to cooperate and act
collectively for common goals. By that measure, Turchin judges that the
United States was collapsing well before Covid-19 hit. For the last 40
years, he argues, the population has been growing poorer and more unhealthy
as elites accumulate more and more wealth and institutional legitimacy
founders. “The United States is basically eating itself from the inside
out,” he says.

Inequality and “popular immiseration” have left the country extremely
vulnerable to external shocks like the pandemic, and to internal triggers
like the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. He does not hesitate
to predict that we can expect to experience far more of the kind of unrest
we’ve seen this summer, “not just this year but in the years ahead, because
the underlying conditions are only getting worse.”
