Like "Little Napoleons" in modern systems, local officials in Mesopotamia used their positions for personal enrichment, rather than facilitating trade or providing public services. The wealth of the state was drained by this parasitic class of officials, leading to food shortages, reduced productivity, and social unrest.

Mesopotamia’s failure to reform its parasitic bureaucracy weakened its economic base, leaving it vulnerable to external conquests by the Assyrians and Persians. The parallel lesson for Malsia is that unchecked bureaucratic inefficiency and corruption can undermine economic productivity and lead to societal collapse if reforms are not enacted.

For Malsia, the lessons are clear: without decisive reforms to remove parasitic middlemen, inefficient agencies, and entrenched interests, the nation risks economic stagnation, social discontent, and a loss of competitiveness in the global economy. Ancient civilizations serve as a stark reminder that ignoring these issues can lead to unsalvageable decline.
