Every civilization buries its foundations beneath its accomplishments.

We admire governments, economies, institutions, and technology, yet these are not civilization's foundations-they are its achievements. What made them possible?

In Excavating Civilization, Michael Paul Ervick uncovers the enduring architecture beneath human society. Drawing from psychology, systems theory, economics, history, and leadership, he argues that human development-not institutions-is the true engine of civilization.

Through the method of Intellectual Fusion, Ervick reveals how individuals become persons, persons build functional relationships, relationships create communities, and communities give rise to civilization.
