4 Horsemen

The US has been considered one of the greatest empires that has excisted theoughout the history of mankind. Howver this empire might not seem as solid and estable as it is shown. The filn of the 4 Horsemen estates the possible causes of the American empire's fall. According to the film, an empire has always 6 ages; of outburst, of conquest, of commerce, of affluence, of intellect, and of decadence. We are living in a time of decadence, this is clearly shown with the high levels of prostitution and corruption in our system. Our modern system only has the ability to favor little amount of people. Like Gandhi once said "there is enough for everybody's need, but not for everybody's greed", this explains how if the wealth is shared among all economical stratus there would be more prosperity among everyone.

The economy also takes part in this age of decadence we are living in. The banks creates the money out of nothing and they are under the FIAT system which increases the corruption because there is nothing to back up the money. In this system there is only "invented" money, the real value of the money can't be evaluated. Until the last century communism and capitalism were battling as the ruling phylosophies. When communism felt, capitalism arose, and therefore our actual system got stronger. Melton Freeman is the pioneer of the modern system. Another factor that has fortified our decadence is the the destitution of the glass-steigell act, which limited the speculation of banks with people's money. This helped with corruption because pf desmesurate risks the bank took with others money, which eventually led in the economical crisis.
