How did the first democracy die?
PJ Vogt
So with the crowd voting for what the crowd wanted, government spending in fifth century BC Athens starts to go a little cuckoo bananas. For instance, the tax revenue that was being used to fund the military, some demagogue suggests, why don't we just use that money to fund entertainment instead? More festivals, more theater, more religious holidays.
