A user on X shared an image of a textbook page discussing the crisis of the Roman Empire, attributing it to a crisis of the slave system. The text explains that Rome's economy heavily relied on slaves, and the slaves' increasingly miserable conditions led to a loss of interest in production and a decline in their population, causing a severe labor shortage. The text also mentions that long-term reliance on slave labor turned citizens into a parasitic class, and the Roman ruling institutions were large, with rulers indulging in extravagance, leading to a prevailing atmosphere of social extravagance and pleasure-seeking.
