The Monk, the Mob, and the Marquis

This book will present an image of the three, true, bases of power in the world. Within the ancient roman empire three possible bodies of governance are described. However, one of these is wrong. While the role of the Emperor can be found in the Marquis, and the mob remains the mob, the Greek oligarchy or nobles is more accurately described as the oligarchy of the priest hood. The priest banker as we will come to understand it, is more accurately the true oligarchy that so many speak of.
However, we will not view one position as good or bad. Like all things touched by human hands, one cannot simply judge one element as more righteous than another. Evil and good can be found in every corner of the world, but motive and consequence are of utmost importance. Instead, we will examine each major role without bias, and the techniques, strategies, and fields in which each role contends against another.
Rather than imagining ourselves from one position, we will look at them simply as they are; players in a game. Make no mistake, the world is always at war. In fact, in places of peace the wars can be more brutal, and the lines extremely blurred. War is not always waged by flesh and blood, but it is an all-reaching conflict between principalities and powers.
