The Decadent Society sets the stakes for the most urgent public debate of the 2020s: How do we get back to the future?

Peter Thiel
author of Zero to One, in First Things magazine on The Decadent Society

Full of shrewd insights couched in elegant, biting prose [...] The result is a trenchant and stimulating take on latter-day discontents.

Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
on The Decadent Society

The book is characteristically well written, and makes impressive use of theological crises from centuries past in order to contextualize Francis in the long, often fractious sweep of Catholic history.
