   Goliath’s Curse surveys five millennia of societal collapse, drawing on archaeology and anthropology to examine patterns across more than 440 past societies—from early Egypt to the modern era. Luke Kemp identifies recurring causes and systemic risks (including environmental stress and high interdependence), explores what collapse can look like, and highlights how resilience often depends on social and political choices.
