Roman Empire- Capitalistic or Socialist

Dennis Prager says capitalism was ONLY system to EVER bring people out of poverty?!  I don’t think most Romans were in poverty (I mean relative to the technology point in time).  But I’m not really sure what they are classified?  I know they had money and trade?  And poverty is really somewhat subjective- is it starving?  Is it not owning property?  Someone help me out.

Hard to answer this question without writing a whole book (in France the roman empire is one of the most important things we study), but the answer can be summed upp to:

-During the monarchy: a bit early to tell

-During the republic: socially left wing, economically right wing

-During the empire: three periods: 1) capitalist 2) "soft" socialism 3) hardcore communist dystopia
