Democracy was born in Athens. From its founding myths to its golden
age and its chaotic downfall, it's rich with lessons for our own
times. Why did vital civil engagement and fair debate descend into
paralysis and populism? Can we compare Creon to Trump, Demokratia
to the American Constitution or Demosthenes' On the Crown to the
Brexit campaign? And how did a second referenda save the Athenians
from a bloodthirsty decision? With verve and acuity, the heroics
and the critics of Athenian democracy are brought to bear on
today's politics, revealing in all its glories and its flaws the
system that still survives to execute the power of the people.
