BUT THE PROBLEMS OF PERPETUATING A HIERARCHICAL SOCIETY GO DEEPER THAN THIS.THERE ARE ONLY FOUR WAYS IN WHICH A RULING GROUP CAN FALL FROM POWER. EITHER IT IS CONQUERED FROM WITHOUT , OR IT GOVERNS SO INEFFICIENTLY THAT THE MASSSES ARE STIRRED TO REVOLT , OR IT ALLOWS A STRONG AND DISCOUNTENTED MIDDLE GROUP TO COME INTO BEING, OR IT LOSES ITS OWN SELF- CONFIDENCE AND WILLINGNESS TO GOVERN. THESE CAUSES DO NOT OPERATE SINGLY, AND AS A RULE ALL FOUR OF THEM ARE PRESENT IN SOME DEGREE. A RULING CLASS WHICH COULD GUARD AGAINST ALL OF THEM WOULD REMAIN IN POWER PERMANENTLY. ULTIMATELY THE DETERMINING FACTOR IS THE MENTAL ATTITUDE OF THE RULING CLASS ITSELF .
