What's the Difference Between Slavery and Corporates?

The ability to control the political heart of rome gave a certain amount of power in the city. It's that client relationship that sort of weaves the threads of connections, isn't it? Through the rich, the poor and the middle classes. And could you talk a minute about the equestrian class, maybe, and a connection to what to day we would call, you know, corporations. I found it interesting when you were talking abouta who had power in rome, and that the average joe on the street had more but i would say both more and less power maybe than one thought.
