Neal Rauhauser reviewed Reinventing Collapse by Dmitry Orlov
In the waning days of the American empire, we find ourselves mired in political crisis, …
The Soviet Union Then, the U.S. Today.
5 stars
Orlov's experience of the Soviet collapse and his observations on where American society is in less resilient condition got my attention when I read it clear back in 2008. Some of the things about the Trump years that puzzled and infuriated people around me were what I expected, having read this book well in advance.
Orlov is a sharp observer and despite its age this is still a good read, given the troubles we face today.
