Empire, Decay, and the Modern Investor’s Dilemma
Description
What do Rome, Spain, and Britain have in common?
They each ruled the world — and then quietly collapsed from within.
In this episode of The Timeless Investor Show, we explore how three of history’s greatest empires fell — not from outside invasion, but from internal decay. From currency debasement and over-financialization to the erosion of civic discipline, the warning signs were always there.
More importantly, we connect these patterns to the modern world — and what today’s investors can learn about resilience, scarcity, and how to protect wealth when the system itself starts to rot.
If you’re an investor, a builder, or just someone trying to understand where this all leads… this one’s for you.
