Secret History #3: Death by Gerontocracy

The Western world is in decline. Immigration is tearing apart the social contract, and causing ethnic tensions. Young people cannot find work, and can no longer afford a house. Debt is crippling governments and households.

He predicts that the gerontocracy will lead to the rise of militaristic and authoritarian governments.
