Is the West talking itself into decline?

OP here.

IMHO culture (expressed through books, in this analysis) isn't clearly shown as a driver for GDP growth with this analysis alone.

But the article is especially interesting to me thanks to the graph showing the shift from "progress" to "caution" in the books analyzed.

That's why I decided to share it.
