an interesting almost analogy if the fall of the Roman Empire, debasement of currency, a series of weak and incompetent leaders at the centre , the drsin of goods from the far reaches of the empire to subsidize the Roman lifestyle..... and the arguable trigger ?, the Justinian plague bringing high inflation and a shortage of workers...History may not repeat ,but it does sometimes rhyme.
