Roman Empire Expert Warns America Is Repeating the Mistakes That Destroyed Rome | Ep. 313
What was said
"we kind of see the economic system and the power structure going through a fall of an empire but the political system is actually going through the fall of a republic. So it's kind of two of those separate things happening at once which we haven't really seen that happen in history before."
Jeremy Ryan Slate argues the US resembles “late Rome”, but says two different processes are unfolding at once. He claims the economy and power structure show an imperial-style decline while the political system shows a republic-style decline, which he calls historically unusual.
