I love when somebody writes about something as "the rise and fall of [thing]" but the thing is still like, fine. If anything it's still rising, maybe more than ever, but the author doesn't like that very much.

#specifically i just looked at the website of some random publisher i hadn't heard of #and one of their recent books was #'the rise and fall of china's economy' or something #like. are you sure.#these kinds of books/essays/etc #end up looking pretty fucking stupid decades later #like somebody writing about the rise and fall of the british empire in like 1890 #and the 'fall' is like a minor shift in colonial policy or somit
