My theory in a nutshell:
Political Instability --> Illiberal Economic Policy --> Economic Decline --> Military Decline --> Conquest
Here is an excellent article from Cato summarizing the illiberal economic policies of the Roman State.
I'll have more to say later, especially about political instability.
In the meantime, post anything you like about the collapse of the Roman Empire: your own arguments, interesting articles, etc.
