A subscriber to declinism.
Examples
“Rather than accept⟳ this, declinists often explained things that did not happen⟳, with explanations that did not work⟳, based on bad history. Thus declinists insist that British R&D has always been low, the City always over-mighty, the country always in the grip of empire, the state under the imaginative control⟳ of classicists and historians rather than technocrats, that industry never stood a chance.”
