Only being able to say that in the world everything is interconnected.
Ancient reforms and modern reforms, if summarized in a simple and crude way, have similar causes and handling methods.
The causes are nothing more than the overly bloated middlemen exploiting the bottom layer and scheming to block the channels for the bottom layer to rise, thus resulting in scenes where the lower class people starve to death everywhere, the upper class's national treasury is empty, and the middle class excessively inflated, becoming an unsustainable abnormality.
And the handling methods involve someone from the upper class using some means to make the bloated middle-income class regurgitate some benefits, redistributing them to the starved lower class and the national treasury of the upper class, enabling the nation to stabilize once again.
No matter whether this middle class consists of feudal landlords, scholars, or capitalists, the principle is always the same.
