Abstract

Already ancients noticed that decrease is usually faster than growth -- whether we talk about companies or empires. A modern researcher Ugo Bardi confirmed that this phenomenon is still valid today. He called it Seneca effect, after the ancient philosopher Seneca -- one of those who observed this phenomenon. In this paper, we provide a natural explanation for the Seneca effect.
