quote [ They found that when “good” governments—ones that provided goods and services for their people and did not starkly concentrate wealth and power—fell apart, they broke down more intensely than collapsing despotic regimes. And the researchers found a common thread in the collapse of good governments: leaders who undermined and broke from upholding core societal principles, morals, and ideals. ]
This is an interesting conclusion, especially when you take into account the difficulty of comparing ancient governmental systems to modern democracies.

I talking in terms of the collapse of the government, not the quality of the social contract itself. It's very clear that the US social contract is based on the exploitation and suppression of minority groups to benefit the white majority and the upper economic class.
