This chapter discusses how the falls of nations and empires really are falls. In the case of Rome, all evidence suggests there was a dramatic reduction in economic activity and standards of living. Indeed, trade collapsed after the fall of the Roman Empire. However, not all declines and falls last as long as did the European Middle Ages.
