Based on his timely book Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, Jared Diamond gives a brilliant historical analysis about previous civilisations that have risen and fallen with lessons from the Norse of Iron Age Greenland, deforested Easter Island and present-day Montana. Diamond talks about the signs that collapse is near, and how -- if we see it in time -- we can prevent it.
