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. 'Timely and fascinating' Robin Lane Fox Why did vital civic
engagement and fair debate descend into populism and paralysis? Can
we compare the demagogue Cleon to President Trump, the Athenian
Empire to modern America, or the stubborn island of Melos to Brexit
Britain? How did a second referendum save the Athenians from a
bloodthirsty decision? Who were the last defenders of democracy in
the changing, globalised world of the 4th Century BC, and how do we
unconsciously echo them today? 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.
