Why read it?
1 author picked The Decline of the West, Two Volumes in One as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

He is a a giant, a brave thinker with a strong character and something interesting to tell, rather than a boring treatise of trivialities and diplomatic sentences of the kind so common among our dwarf philosophers.
From Martín's list on the decline of science.
