A study of history is a very good study of how and why civilization goes through time. Written in 1939, Toynbee predicts a revival of nationalism, The fall of the soviet union, Victory of capitalism, And the great growth of western culture. The central theme is simple but true: Civilizations advance by overcoming external challenges and internal stagnation. The book contains 10 volumes of toynbee 's work depicting the fall of human civilization. Toynbee argues that civilization arises because of the pattern he calls "challenge and response", The "creative minority" that inspired the inert masses to imitate their innovations, Toynbee referred to this process as "mimesis".
