The Hebrew Bible includes some rather pointed commentaries on society. Several thousand years does not seem to matter in social analysis.
The Prophet Nahum in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament for Christians) has these words at the close of his brief tract. Verses 16 and 17 of Chapter 3 of Nahum.
In the present situation it appears that the merchants and officials are in a titanic
struggle for who can best run the world. All who are not part of either business or
government are observers and resource providers in the grand design of things.

"More merchants are in your city than there are stars in the sky--
But they are like locusts that eat everything and then fly away.
Your guards and your officials are swarms of locusts.
On a chilly day they settle on a fence,
But when the sun comes out, they take off to who-knows-where."
