America is drowning in debt. Its borders are strained, institutions distrusted, bureaucracy entrenched and currency relentlessly diluted. Historian Jeremy Ryan Slate argues we’ve seen this movie before. Using his provocative Roman Pattern, Slate joins Richard Syrett to ask: Is the American Empire merely declining, or quietly being dismantled from within?
GUEST: Jeremy Ryan Slate is a historian, entrepreneur, author and media host whose work examines the recurring forces that shape the rise, transformation and decline of civilizations. He holds a Master’s degree in European History, specializing in the Early Roman Empire, from Seton Hall University and studied Catholic literature at Oxford University.
Slate is the creator and host of The Roman Pattern, a framework exploring how civilizations repeatedly confront similar institutional incentives involving money, borders and power. He also hosts Hidden Forces in History and The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, and is CEO of Command Your Brand.
Through the lens of Rome, Slate examines an unsettling question for our own age: Does history repeat, or do the incentives that destroy empires repeat?
