It's Still the Demography, Stupid
As noted yesterday, twenty years ago this month - January 2006 - The Wall Street Journal and The New Criterion published the first draft of what would become the thesis of my bestselling book, America Alone. The Journal headline sums it up: It's the Demography, Stupid. The sub-head makes plain what's at stake: The real reason the West is in danger of extinction. And the lead paragraph spells it out: Most people reading this have strong stomachs, so let me lay it out as baldly as I can: Much of what we loosely call the Western world will not survive this century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most Western European countries. Two decades ago that scenario was dismissed as "alarmist" by ...

The Map and the Math
If you're not following our Sunday serialisation of America Alone, you're missing out, if I do say so myself, which I do. Many of you will be familiar with the main themes, but, speaking as the narrator, I'm particularly appreciative of the asides - the paragraphs that aren't especially germane to the central thesis but are also coming to pass. For example...

A Clubman's Notes
The Illusion of Permanence
Welcome to this week's episode of my ongoing audio adaptation of America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. Twenty years ago this month - January 4th 2006 - I published in The Wall Street Journal the first draft of my book's thesis, which the editors headlined "It's the Demography, Stupid". And, just in case you didn't grasp the stakes, they sub-headed it "The real reason the West is in danger of extinction": Permanence is the illusion of every age. In 1913, no one thought the Russian, Austrian, German and Turkish empires would be gone within half a decade. Seventy years on, all those fellows who dismissed Reagan as an 'amiable dunce' (in Clark Clifford's phrase) assured us the Soviet Union was likewise here to stay. The CIA ...
