Challenging Theocracy: Ancient Lessons for Global Politics
The Confrontation between Classical Political Philosophy and the Gods of the City
Enduring Empire: Ancient Lessons for Global Politics
Two Models of Ownership: How Commons Has Co-Existed with Private Property
This article challenges the claim by many historians that the rise of capitalism requires the destruction of common property systems. In contrast to the English case in which commons were enclosed, French peasants used their common property system to regulate the market, provide a rural safety net and a democratic check on elites, while urban industry developed. European battles over common property replayed in surprising ways in colonial African…
On Oligarchy: Ancient Lessons for Global Politics
Economic power is becoming increasingly concentrated in the hands of the few, even as democratic movements worldwide allow for political power to be dispersed among the many. With their access to influence, the wealthy can shape and constrain the political power of the rest of the world.

Phronesis, Democracy and Technology
This essay identifies a problem with the phronesis revival. Some revivalists argue that phronesis can serve as a response to the homogenizing influence of technology, maintaining the particulars of individuals and communities. However, by their own argument, technology denies the conditions or “educational backdrop” that the development and practice of phronesis requires.Résumé.Cet essai identifie le problème de la renaissance du phronesis.
