How did the first democracy die?
PJ Vogt
There must have been Athenians who knew that if the state paid everybody to vote, paid everybody to serve on the 1,000-seat juries, paid people to go to Athenian Coachella, that eventually the need for silver would force them into a war they would lose. Thucydides actually describes how the few Athenians who knew also knew to shut up.
