Athenian Democratic Origins: and Other Essays
De Ste. Croix, Geoffrey (, (Late) Fellow of New College, Oxford)
This is a defence of the Athenian democracy by a great radical historian. Geoffrey de Ste. Croix shows how even its oddest features made sense, and illustrates the different factors influencing Athenian politics - for instance, trade and commercial interests mattered very little. Though written in the 1960s, these hitherto unpublished essays remain fresh and innovative.
