The Roman Empire faced many of the same problems that we face today.
It was kind of a precursor of our globalized economy.
In just a few short centuries, Rome built an empire that stretched across three continents. As it expanded, the requirements for simply feeding its cities and feeding its army, became so large that the empire couldn't generate enough food, energy and enough grain, to adequately meet all its obligations. So, there was a constant fiscal crisis and financial crisis. As resources ran out, their empire collapsed.
羅馬帝國面臨著與我們今天相同的問題。
那是全球化經(jīng)濟(jì)體的一種前驅(qū)。
在短短幾個世紀(jì),羅馬建立起一個橫跨三大洲的帝國。由于迅速崛起,如此龐大的帝國卻無法生產(chǎn)足夠的食物、能源、和糧食提供給其城市和軍隊(duì),無法足夠擔(dān)負(fù)起帝國應(yīng)有的責(zé)任。因此,不斷地發(fā)生財政危機(jī)和金融危機(jī)。隨著資源耗盡,整個帝國崩潰。
