How Commerce Shapes Empires | Guest: NewsFist | 7/13/26
About this episode
Auron MacIntyre and guest NewsFist discuss how commerce influences the rise and fall of empires, referencing John Glubb's essay.
YouTube commentator NewsFist joins me as we continue our examination of historian John Glubb's essay "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival." We'll be looking at the role that trade and wealth play in the eventually downfall of empires. Is it possible to maintain a prosperous nation without falling into decadence and decay? We will also examine the nature of empire itself and whether territorial expansion is an inevitable part of the life cycle of civilizations.
