Our Germanica Top 10 today is a video created by the Ex Libris YouTube channel entitled 'Its always like this before a revolution'.
This content deals with the history of revolutions in mankind and the conditions that precede them.
Contrary to common belief, revolutions are not caused by general economic hardship, since in most historical cases pre-revolutionary societies were in the middle of continuous economic growth. For example the revolutions in France and Russia both occurred at times when their economies had demonstrated significant and steady economic growth for decades. Rather, the cause usually stems from a change in society that results in the perception that the benefits of growth are not being distributed based on merit - which in turn often results from changes in technology or patterns of trade.
Base on this analysis the reader can see the parallels with the present. This will be no surprise to Germanica readers, as we have been aware of these pre-revolutionary trends in our societies today for some time. This is worthwhile content for true students of history.
