Everything Everywhere Daily - The Gracchi Brothers

During the Roman Republic, two brothers took it upon themselves to seek to change Rome to benefit the poor and underclass.

Needless to say, the Roman elites did not like this and did everything in their power to ensure it didn’t happen. 

…and the elites were successful.

But in the process, they changed Roman history forever and put the Republic on a path to destruction. 

Learn more about the Gracchi Brothers and how they tried to change Roman society on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - A $220 billion World Cup?

As the FIFA World Cup in Qatar gets underway, and the newly built stadia, lavish hotels and transport networks come to life, More or Less investigates just how much the Gulf nation has spent in the lead-up to the tournament. Reports claim the figure could be as much as $220 billion - that?s more than Qatar's annual GDP, and more than ten times higher than the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. At an estimated $15 billion, this was previously the most expensive tournament to date. With no access to Qatar?s accounts, and with very few official figures in circulation, More or Less has recruited some of the world?s leading experts in sports finance to crunch the numbers and to ask?is this really a $220 billion World Cup?
