Fascinating post. I'm curious: given long history of pandemics, why the certainty that CV represents a hard break? It's not even clear to me that Black Death occasioned a hard break. To me, both crises look more like events that accelerate longer-term trends of growth & decline

Reading the earlier post helps me understand how you envision this "break." Reminds me of Yeats's theory of the gyres, although he imagined 1,000-year cycles. Also helpful to read your take on ITTB. Will chew on this and perhaps come back to you with more thoughts. Thanks!
