This quote is burned into my brain, but I can't for the life of me remember or find where it's from. Any help would be appreciated.

Feel free to debate the statement itself if you like.

Are you sure that’s an exact quote??

I did find:
“Clear shifts in discourse and the spread of heterodoxy thus precede state breakdown, though these derive primarily from the collision of economic, political, and social structures with demographic change.” - Jack Goldstone

Which is the... closest?
