**Script for YouTube Video** Hey everyone! 📉 Today, we're diving into the topic of economic instability and inequality, a theme that has echoed throughout history, from ancient Rome to today’s United States. Let’s start with Rome. 🏛️ They built their economy on slave labor, military conquests, and tribute from conquered lands. Over time, this led to a significant gap between the rich and the poor, as wealth became concentrated in the hands of a few while the majority struggled to get by. The combination of a debased currency fueled inflation, which ultimately contributed to the fall of the empire. Fast forward to the present, and the U.S. is facing its own set of challenges. We’re seeing rising income inequality, an increasing national debt, and worries about inflation. Many people feel the pinch as the middle class declines, while consumer debt continues to rise. When we compare these two eras, it’s clear that economic inequality and debt are warning signs that we must pay attention to. So, what do you think?
