When risk professionals talk about systemic risk, we usually mean markets, institutions, and interconnected exposures. But zoom out far enough, and there\u2019s a bigger question underneath it all: what makes an entire society resilient \u2013 or vulnerable \u2013 to collapse? That\u2019s why in this episode, we explore the history and future of societal collapse through a risk lens: looking at how complex systems fail, how multiple threats compound, and the early warning signs of collapse. We discuss: \u00b7        What societal collapse actually means in practice, and why it\u2019s rarely a single event, but a buildup of stresses and cascading failures; \u00b7        How inequality amplifies fragility, weakening trust, institutions, and the capacity to respond when shocks hit; \u00b7        And what a real-world \u201ccollapse risk dashboard\u201d might look like for societies.
