7 STAGES OF CIVILIZATIONS
MIXTURE
GESTATION
EXPANSION
AGE OF CONFLICT
UNIVERSAL EMPIRE
DECAY
INVASION
Civilizations die as:
(1) Decreasing political security and the ending of law and order make property precarious and make personal violence an increasingly significant element in life
(2) long-distance trade decreases; as a result
(3) town life becomes precarious and there is a general exodus from the town as people try to find a place in which they can be attached in some stable social and economic relationship to the food-producing
(4) there is a decline and even a disappearance of the middle class (the property-owning, commercial, literate, city-dwelling group)
(5) illiteracy rises rapidly
