    #372 - Peter Heather: Is The West Doomed To Be Like Rome?

    In this episode of Chatter I sat down with Peter Heather, a distinguished professor of Medieval History at King’s College London and the co-author of “Why Empires Fall.” We discussed the intricacies of the Roman Empire's rise and fall, focusing on themes of corruption, economic and social decline, and external pressures from emerging peripheral powers. Peter Heather debunks the traditional narrative of Rome's moral decadence and instead highlights the strategic challenges and evolving economic landscape that contributed to the Empire's gradual collapse. The discussion shifts to modern parallels, drawing connections between Rome's historical challenges and contemporary issues faced by the Western world, including economic shifts, aging populations, and fiscal policy concerns. The episode also covers fascinating insights into archaeological methods used to understand Rome's economy, critiques of Edward Gibbon’s historical interpretations, and the role of local and global economic changes in shaping empires past and present. With thoughtful analysis and expert commentary, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the enduring relevance of Rome’s history and its lessons for today’s global powers. Timestamps 00:00 Real distance equals travel time, Roman Empire vast. 07:44 Roman Empire influenced non-Roman economic and social transformation. 13:21 4th-century peak Roman settlements and occupation. 19:38 Interested in Rome's moral decline, criticizing Christianity. 25:34 Provincial elites embracing Romanness complicates Roman governance. 32:13 Relative economic decline requires strategic adaptation. 39:53 Roman army expansion caused currency debasement issues. 46:24 Low birth rates and aging population challenge economies. 48:20 Empire collapses: fiscal issues, barbarians invade, debts. 58:20 Barbarians disrupt Roman tax system, causing collapse. 01:02:56 Empires justify, but reality differs significantly.   25% off 20 taxis - https://get.business.bolt.eu/vkwniosn0rro [BB25OFF20] ----------------------------------------------------- PRE-ORDER MY GAMESTOP BOOK - https://wen-moon.com  Cast-Magic: The World's Most Powerful Content Tool (30% off with code Casting30) - https://get.castmagic.io/4ktvtch68y67  Make Professional Looking Clips In Seconds With Opus - https://www.opus.pro/?via=ee2b04  Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq    ----------------------------------------------------- You can listen to the show on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms - https://chatterpodcast.podbean.com/  Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4    Join My Mailing List - https://stats.sender.net/forms/dNZK8d/view  Follow Me On Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist  ----------------------------------------------------- Website - https://thejist.co.uk/    Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim

    #371 - Farmers Protest: Inheritance Tax, Family Farms, and the WEF

    25% off 20 taxis - https://get.business.bolt.eu/vkwniosn0rro [BB25OFF20] In this video, I spoke to people at the farmers protest in London, where thousands of farmers are taking a stand against the proposed inheritance tax reforms announced in the Autumn Budget 2024 by Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Starting in April 2026, farms valued at over £1 million will face a 20% inheritance tax, a significant change from previous policies that exempted most family farms. 📢 Why Are Farmers Protesting? On November 19, 2024, over 20,000 farmers gathered at Parliament Square in London, organized by the National Farmers' Union (NFU) and other agricultural bodies. Farmers fear these tax changes will force them to sell parts of their land, jeopardizing their livelihoods and the future of family-run farms. 🎙 Key Voices from the Protest Notable voices like Jeremy Clarkson have described these tax reforms as a "hammer blow" to British agriculture. But beyond celebrity soundbites, real farmers argue that while their land may hold paper value, their incomes are modest, making it difficult to shoulder these new tax burdens. 🌍 The Bigger Picture The farming community is already grappling with post-Brexit trade uncertainty, rising operational costs, and climate change challenges. The added inheritance tax could push more farms into corporate ownership or tax shelters, leading to less land used for productive farming and a greater reliance on imported food. ----------------------------------------------------- PRE-ORDER MY GAMESTOP BOOK - https://wen-moon.com  Cast-Magic: The World's Most Powerful Content Tool (30% off with code Casting30) - https://get.castmagic.io/4ktvtch68y67  Make Professional Looking Clips In Seconds With Opus - https://www.opus.pro/?via=ee2b04  Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq    ----------------------------------------------------- You can listen to the show on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms - https://chatterpodcast.podbean.com/  Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4    Join My Mailing List - https://stats.sender.net/forms/dNZK8d/view  Follow Me On Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist  ----------------------------------------------------- Website - https://thejist.co.uk/    Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim
