What are the 7 Stages of Empire?

[InTruth]

1. Sound money
2. Layers of public works
3. Massive military
4. WAR
5. Currency debasement
6. Loss of faith
7. Currency crisis / Gold accounts for fiat currency

We are nearing the end of step 6 and soon to be starting 7. This will involve the rest of the world's currencies picking on the US Dollar.

After stage seven comes the complete crash of the empire.
