The video blurred steps six and seven together. Also, the narrator had an annoying habit of mispronouncing some words. I could have read as much with the other link, so for me, the video was redundant, but cool for those who prefer that medium.
I just noticed that i had put wrong link to OP

7 Stages of Empire
The contents about the steps differ some from what i was thinking in the OP link : The Cycle of Civilization . Not sure should i just remove it.
Maybe this short video is more easy ?
