Wondering tonight if there is an analogy between the Greek city-states of the fifth century B.C., of Thucydides’ Greece, and the nation states of the Modern World — how closely do their interactions track and how would you measure.
Seems like so much of world history is about whether it’s the rich or poor or middle class who hold power, which I guess was a big part of Karl Marx’s point.
