Rome wasn't conquered by barbarians. It was consumed by debt. In 133 BC, Tiberius Gracchus proposed land redistribution to help landless farmers and soldiers — the Senate beat him to death with wooden benches. His crime? Threatening the debt system that concentrated 95% of Italy's land in the hands of 2% of Romans. This documentary reveals how Rome's expansion wasn't driven by glory but by the need to keep a debt system functioning. Small farmers borrowed and lost their land to wealthy creditors. The landless joined the army for plunder. Soldiers demanded new conquests. When expansion stopped in 200 AD, the system collapsed. From the Lex Hortensia debt reforms to Julius Caesar's debt forgiveness to the Crisis of the Third Century, we trace how debt inequality destroyed the Republic and eventually the Empire. The lesson is clear: empires built on credit require endless expansion. When growth stops, collapse follows.
Financial Fallout explores the intersection of money, power, and history. This is the blueprint for every empire that ran on borrowed time — and why debt concentration always ends the same way.
