A lot of people draw connections between the Fall of the Roman Empire with the US.

After reading Rubicon, I can see the similarities in the decadence and the political events, but one difference is that I think the Roman Empire fell due to being dependent upon slaves which was not increasingly productive. 

The US is facing similar problems due to bureaucracy which is also a large class that is not increasingly productive, but the difference is that we have technology which can reroute around this class. 

You can build your own audience, create movies, learn, and earn without having to depend on bureaucracy. I think will lead the US into a different outcome than the Roman Empire.
