The Fragility of Society

Society as we know it is held together by a delicate balance of laws, institutions, and social norms. But what happens if that delicate balance is disrupted? It Could Happen Here explores the vulnerabilities in our interconnected global systems that could lead to a breakdown in society.

From economic inequality and political polarization to climate change and pandemics, there are numerous threats that can push societies to the brink. By examining these challenges and their potential consequences, we gain a deeper understanding of the risks we face.

The Domino Effect

In It Could Happen Here, we delve into the concept of the domino effect - the idea that a single trigger event can set off a chain reaction of catastrophic events. Just like a row of dominos, the collapse of one aspect of society can quickly lead to the collapse of others.

Imagine a major financial crisis that cripples the economy, leading to widespread unemployment and social unrest. This, in turn, puts pressure on already strained governments, eroding trust in the system. As people become disillusioned and desperate, social cohesion breaks down, giving rise to violence and instability.

Survival in a Dystopian World

What would it take to survive in a world where societal structures have crumbled? It Could Happen Here explores the skills, resources, and mindset needed to navigate such a harsh reality.

From learning basic survival skills like finding food and water, to developing self-defense techniques and building alliances, this article provides valuable insights into what it truly means to survive when the world as we know it ceases to exist.

Hope in the Face of Adversity

While the thought of a dystopian future may be unsettling, It Could Happen Here also examines the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit. Throughout history, humanity has faced numerous challenges, and time and time again, we have found ways to overcome.

By fostering a sense of community, promoting sustainable practices, and engaging in conscious decision-making, we can work towards a future that is more resilient and less vulnerable to collapse.

It Could Happen Here is a captivating exploration of a chilling possibility that forces us to confront the vulnerabilities inherent in our society. While the prospect of a dystopian future may be unnerving, it also serves as a wake-up call to take action and work towards building a world that is more just, sustainable, and resistant to collapse.

Don't let this thought-provoking journey pass you by. Join us as we dig deep into the dark corners of what could be, and discover the power we have to shape our own destiny.

"Refreshingly candid  . . . Get off Instagram and read this book."—Sacha Baron Cohen 

From the dynamic head of ADL, an impassioned argument about the terrifying path that America finds itself on today—and how we can save ourselves

It’s almost impossible to imagine that unbridled hate and systematic violence could come for us or our families. But it has happened in our lifetimes in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. And it could happen here.

Today, as CEO of the storied ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), Jonathan Greenblatt has made it his personal mission to demonstrate how antisemitism, racism, and other insidious forms of intolerance can destroy a society, taking root as quiet prejudices but mutating over time into horrific acts of brutality. In this urgent book, Greenblatt sounds an alarm, warning that this age-old trend is gathering momentum in the United States—and that violence on an even larger, more catastrophic scale could be just around the corner.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Drawing on ADL’s decades of experience in fighting hate through investigative research, education programs, and legislative victories as well as his own personal story and his background in business and government, Greenblatt offers a bracing primer on how we—as individuals, as organizations, and as a society—can strike back against hate. Just because it could happen here, he shows, does not mean that the unthinkable is inevitable.
