Throughout history, we’ve seen societies rise and dramatically fall, but why?
In this episode, Marten Scheffer, a Professor at Wageningen University and Research Centre and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, explains how social, political, and environmental factors contribute to a decrease in resilience over time, leaving previously powerful societies vulnerable to collapse.
This episode is part one of our two-part chat with Marten.
