The work examines the differences and similarities between ancient Roman civilization and contemporary American society, particularly in terms of morals, manners, and the concept of progress. The author aims to explore how societal values have evolved and how they reflect broader human experiences across different periods. The opening of the text sets the stage for this comparative study by introducing the premise that understanding modern life in America requires insights from ancient civilizations. Ferrero discusses how the concept of progress is perceived differently across time and cultures, emphasizing the contradictions that arise when comparing the two societies. He argues against a simplistic judgment of progress or decline, suggesting that both ancient and modern times possess unique values and characteristics worthy of examination. Through the lens of his observations, Ferrero proposes that there is much to learn from ancient practices and beliefs, particularly how they relate to the complexities of contemporary life.
