"Today historians focus on the symptoms of Rome’s fall, the consequences: The moral decay, the economic decline, the fall in public safety, the multiplying plagues from dysfunctional public services, the hollowed-out military that ultimately invited barbarian invasions.
But we know these well -- in fact we're living through many of them. What's a lot more interesting is the why. Because that's how you stop it." --Peter St Onge
