Thanks for this. Important to keep historical comparisons to current events as specific and factual as possible, it is always tempting to become too strident.

Like I said, you're absolutely right about the accumulation of wealth in the upper classes being core to the Republic's fall! I just thought you were talking about the lifespan of the entire Roman polity as on a trend of ever-worsening wealth disparity.

Perish the thought, it's just that I've paid most attention to the later portion of Roman history. My favourite part of any story is the ending. 🙃
