Provided they do not occupy a seat. For academic Luke Kemp, our civilisation is exceptionally fragile. Collapse isn't inevitable, but we need radical change to prevent it - and history shows a cautionary pattern. Surveying 5000 years of human history, and over 400 civilisation collapses from the Bronze Age to modern times, Kemp highlights a recurring trend: elites unsustainably seize and concentrate resources; inequality grows to destabilising levels and destroys said society.
