Would you be willing to share the titles and authors of those books?
The Substance of Civilization by Stephen L. Sass
A Farewell to Alms by Gregory Clark (Note that many contest the claims on comparisons to China, claiming that the pressures detailed were even stronger there.)
From Dawn to Decadence by Jacques Barzun
Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fisher (there is a more recent book on a very similar subject that I have not yet read here, but it has fewer pages and covers more groups, so I imagine it has less details but may be worth reading with / instead of Albion's Seed.)
