Abstract: Abstract Cicero (106–43 BC), the Roman senator and orator, had said that society is made by eleven professions: The poor who works, the rich who exploits him, the soldier who defends both of them, the taxpayer who finances the previous three, the tramp who rests for the four, the drunkard who drinks for the five, the banker who swindles for the six, the lawyer who deceives the seven, the medical doctor who kills the eight, the undertaker who buries the nine, and the politician who rides on the back of all ten professions.
