This is part two in a hot potato history series with Cypher over at Cynical Historian. Each week we’re going to alternate talking about major revolutions in world history. What we are talking about today is where we see a major shift in who holds the power in society. A new class of wealthy people arose, and because of changes in economics and technology, became extremely powerful, in many ways toppling the rule of kings and emperors.
