Sobre IBD

Why do some civilizations endure for millennia, whilst others collapse within centuries? In Building Civilizations, John Gillam unveils his groundbreaking Theory of Civilizational Resilience, revealing the hidden patterns that determine whether societies thrive or fail when faced with existential challenges. Drawing on his unique background as a researcher and a seasoned public administrator, John identifies the critical pressure points, adaptive mechanisms, and change thresholds that separate resilient civilisations from fragile ones. As Western civilization faces unprecedented global challenges-from technological disruption to social fragmentation-this book offers essential insights into how we can build the institutional resilience needed not just to survive, but to flourish in an uncertain future.
