A few months ago the literature teacher cried to me that we have to teach our children about Americanism and capitalism, Tears in her eyes, and she is notorious for using the Bible as a text.
More recently my ELCA pastor prated about participatory democracy.
This book makes it clear that the Athenians faced precisely the same self-governance problems that we, the US and the West, do, and failed. They failed even with the advantages of a tiny population.
The book is well researched by an renowned philologist and densely footnoted. I highly recommend it.
