Historians and economists commonly cite natural disasters and foreign invasions to explain cultural collapses. The problem is, human families have been suffering and overcoming disasters for thousands of years. Humans cover most of the earth; they have learned to live on polar ice and in arid deserts. They have adapted to tropical islands and rain forests. Humans live literally everywhere. And wherever humans wander, they create cultures and civilizations. Civilizations fall apart when human economies and cultures collapse. The question is--what forces, over long, long time periods, divide ...

The oldest surviving philosophy of work, justice, and what it means to live in hard times. Nearly three thousand years ago, a Boeotian farmer named Hesiod sat down to tell his brother the truth: that the gods have hidden the good life from mortals, that work is the price of survival, and that justice — fragile, cosmic, indifferent to power — is the only thing standing between civilization and collapse. Works and Days is one of the founding texts of Western literature — and one of the least read. While Homer sang of heroes, Hesiod sang of the field, the season, the neighbor's debt, and...
