Dear friend,

I encourage everyone to read history for two key reasons:

  1. It often proves the old adage of “the more things change, the more they stay the same” and;

  2. Again drawing on the adage of “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”, the past often shows what is in store for us in the future.

From history, we learn that prior to the decline of any great civilisation was the increase in the perceived importance and number of people employed in non-essential work.

Cultural figures and courtesans all were employed and paid all the more by the ‘elite’ class, while farmers, builders, craftsmen, and others who played an important role in their society’s functioning became more taxed and vilified.

What this was, was a symptom of elite overproduction.

And every time this has happened, political instability has followed.

The bad news is it’s happening again today.
