More about the book

The book explores the transformation of Athens' political system from 404 to 307, challenging the notion of a simple decline or crisis. It provides a detailed analysis of public finances, revealing how a shift occurred from broad-based deliberative democracy to a more elite-driven governance. This change involved a consensual delegation of power and trust to the ruling class, establishing a flexible governance model that influenced many regions during the Hellenistic period.
