Thomas Carlyle’s ‘Past & Present:’ How The Decline of the West Started Centuries Ago
"Thomas Carlyle's 'Past and Present' is one of the most unique books I have ever read. It is a prophetic look at the root causes of what was beginning to tear down the core of specifically English, but ultimately European, society. With growing atheism, idleness and Dilettantism, and mammon-worship, Europe went from Heroic and True to Un-Heroic and living in a "sham," in just a few short centuries--a reality which is only just coming into full fruition now." from the video introduction
