  • The Seneca Effect

    Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid

    by Ugo Bardi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The essence of this book can be found in a line written by the ancient Roman Stoic Philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca: "Fortune is of sluggish growth, but ruin is rapid". This sentence summarizes the features of the phenomenon that we call "collapse," which is typically sudden and often unexpected, like the proverbial "house of cards." But why are such collapses so common, and what generates them? ... Read more
