There were parallels between the later Roman Empire and modern industrial countries. There was a great divide between rich and poor. The Roman one percent controlled the wealth, and the poor had to settle for Bread and Circuses to keep them from revolting. Eventually the poor welcomed barbarian invasion over the crippling taxation and unemployment of the Roman Emperors.
