Yeah, because everybody knows the obvious answer. It's untethered capitalism. And no it hasn't always been that way. Politicians weren't always whores for the rich. That's a rather recent development that can absolutely be stopped by the will of the people.
As much as I respect your argument; the Romans. Or any civilisation really. It literally has always been that way.
