Picking up from our previous discussion "The Evolution Of Civilizations - From Instrument To Institution" (link below) we delve into how the process of the creation and institutionalization of societal instruments has propelled all civilizations through 7 stages: mixture, gestation, expansion, conflict, universal empire, decay, and invasion. We also discuss which stage we believe we're currently in, and what evidence exists to draw parallels to the theories laid out in Carroll Quigley's "The Evolution of Civilizations: An Introduction to Historical Analysis."
