Wow. Such opulence and decadance! How their conciences dealt with the reality of the starving masses is pretty amazing…Its almost like they didn’t have conciences.
I agree with you, but anywhere, where there is a social hierarchy its like that, i guess….Even now, just the luxury isnt on the walls, but in offshore swiss banks. :)))
Another way to look at such opulence and decadance is; how many artisens did it employ to create and how large was the staff to look after such a construction? some of the moneies would certainly have tricked down. Trickel down economics isn’t a perfect modle but then comunisim didn’t function very well either. Great image though.
Actually, you are right…..i guess. It did give a lot of people jobs and stuff. Plus, ANYTHING is better than communism! lol And i mean, what else had they got to do in those times, other than walking around their gardens and mansions? :)) Thanks for the comment!
