Civilizations die from what??


Schumpeter's theory is that the success of capitalism will lead to a form of corporatism and a fostering of values hostile to capitalism.... The intellectual and social climate needed to allow entrepreneurship to thrive will not exist in advanced capitalism; it will be replaced by socialism in some form.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Joseph Schumpeter (27 Sept 2010)

In Schumpeter's view it is the success of capitalism that leads to the demise of capitalism. Or as Toynbee put it, "Civilizations die from suicide."
