Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Every empire learns the same hard truth: power costs more than it pays. From the Roman legions to the British Navy, from the Ming Dynasty to the Soviet Union, states rose on conquest and trade-then faltered under the weight of their own expenditures.… This book examines how empires across history exhausted their treasuries long before they lost their armies.Drawing on economic archives, numismatic evidence, and state financial records, it traces recurring patterns of over expansion, fiscal corruption, inflation, and failed reform. Rome debased its currency; the Spanish crown drowned in silver and debt; the Ottoman treasury collapsed under bureaucratic privilege; Britain's empire waned as it mortgaged itself to global finance. Each collapse reveals that economic overreach, not military defeat alone, is the true empire killer.Through comparative analysis, the narrative explores how nations justified, concealed, and finally confronted insolvency. The cycle is as moral as it is monetary: every empire that promised eternal prosperity has eventually paid a bill it could no longer defer.
