Dr. Zupans book look at the sources of national decline. Typically when people think about the sources of national decline they often look outside of government at specialInterest Groups that try to coopt government for their own benefit. However dr. Zupan takes a different approach and looks at the sources of national decline that come from inside government , from government insiders and it may cause even more harm to countries and civilizations than the harm that comes from outside of government we are really looking forward to hearing from dr.
