What in history, current conditions or forward trends suggests the prospect of decline? Is there scholarly commentary on the topic that defines societal "decline" in a specific way? How do we know when a civilization is on the way down?
Have a look at Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" and Diamond's "Collapse."
