Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
About this Episode
Explores the collapse of various past societies and the environmental challenges they faced, drawing parallels to modern-day issues. It examines how factors like deforestation, climate change, resource depletion, and societal responses to problems contributed to the downfall of civilizations such as the Easter Islanders, the Maya, and the Greenland Norse. The text also contrasts these failures with successful societies, like the Icelanders and Tokugawa Japan, highlighting different approaches to environmental management, from bottom-up community efforts to top-down governmental policies. Furthermore, the sources discuss contemporary environmental concerns in regions like Montana, Australia, China, and Hispaniola, including the impacts of population growth, invasive species, pollution, and the complex interplay between economic interests and environmental protection.
