oct 4, 1773 - The Great Collapse of Nations is Published

Description:

The Great Collapse of Nations [Tha Èsãne Íñè Nípèriov] was written by economic philosopher and Oipientian thinker Rašk H. Bèldalir. The essay described the theoretical fall of all nations in the world and the consequences of it and how humans evolved into chaos, primarily in the terms of economic activity and how it drove their actions. It was heavily influential and was a key document in the formation of numerous ideological fields in the 19th and 20th centuries, primarily haddakuimism, fascism, and libertarianism.

Passage from the essay:
"And with the fall of Yueroki, the world, too, had ended. All civilization was gone and mattered to no one. Currency, coin, trade stopped and became nothing. The world fell into wild tribes and clans, each with chieftans of many names. They became either burn others or burned by others."
[V gadha èsãne èñ Yuroka, malènesta grã samayas. Orõv syemaro busoím v cairaskèm ísi nagõ. Thístu, x̃e, dapít camas v boševèkes sadan. Malènesta ṡãnikèm natasi ãspa senĩrov v barèdov, ètšõ gadha kístèvdarov mèñè hese narov. Ísvam boševèm kiã ĩgo nayõv suyè ĩgon kè nayõv.]

Bèldalir was born in Ṡeca, a small fishing town off the coast of the Skelva Lake in the Allera Region. He came from a long line of shoemakers, hence his surname, and grew up mainly on the border of poverty. He was the 5th of 7 siblings and one of 4 to make it to adulthood. As a teenager, he was studying under his father to learn the family craft alongside his two older brothers. However, he had always dreamed of visiting Kueplios as he had read in various books regarding its grandeur. At age 19, Bèldalir ran away from Ṡeca and travelled to Kueplios, but due to his economic status, he was unable to purchase a ride straight there. So, while he traveled mostly on foot, he stopped in many small villages and some big towns and met a lot of different people from many different walks of life. During his pilgrimage, he slowly developed beliefs against the rich and support for the poor, the extremely impoverished. Once in Kueplios, he worked for another shoemaker, becoming his apprentice in order to make money to buy books and essays. He studied economics and philosophy and eventually began writing his own. Before publishing TGCoN, he had published three minor essays about the philosophies of the then modern economic theories and their pitfalls. He gained some attention with his third essay which was infamous for its harsh attacks against the current Oipientian economic ideology. His fourth essay and his most famous was at first widely disregarded by most philosophers but still remained popular enough to remain in talking circles well into the 19th Century. Bèldalir died in Kueplios at the age of 53 from suicide due to struggling financial problems. His grave is found in his hometown of Ṡeca.
