      2500 years ago, the small Greek city state of Athens invented a new form of political regime. Today, the name of that form of regime is the only credible basis on which to claim regular and lasting political authority across the entire world. This study explains how a casual, practical solution to local Greek political difficulties so long ago has come to stand virtually unchallenged as the grounds for modern political authority. It shows how the idea of democracy has kept its power in a world which is utterly different from the world of classical Greece, and how the questions which the Greeks first raised about the meaning of democratic rule still loom over human political and economic institutions in a setting in which no modern population can ever rule in practice as the Athenian demos ruled. By viewing its history across this great arc of time, the book shows why democracy today has both the power and the vulnerability which make it the key to understanding politics. It explains why democracy has triumphed so decisively in the modern world.
