Description

Peter Chardon Brooks Adams (June 24, 1848,Quincy, Massachusetts - February 13, 1927, Boston), was an Americanhistorian and a critic of capitalism. He graduated from HarvardUniversity in 1870 and studied at Harvard Law School in 1870 and1871.

He believed that commercial civilizations rise and fall inpredictable cycles. First, masses of people draw together in largepopulation centers and engage in commercial activities. As theirdesire for wealth grows, they discard spiritual and creativevalues. Their greed leads to distrust and dishonesty, andeventually the society crumbles. In The Law of Civilization andDecay (1895), Adams noted that as new population centers emerged inthe west, centers of world trade shifted from Constantinople toVenice to Amsterdam to London. He predicted in America's EconomicSupremacy (1900) that New York would become the world tradecenter.

Adams was a great-grandson of John Adams, a grandson of JohnQuincy Adams, the youngest son of U.S. diplomat Charles FrancisAdams, and brother to Henry Brooks Adams, philosopher, historian,and novelist, whose theories of history were influenced by hiswork. His maternal grandfather was Peter Chardon Brooks, thewealthiest man in Boston at the time of his death. He was elected aFellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1918.[1]
