Creasing to spine. Light creasing to wraps. Minor shelfwear. ; The Ancient World; 410 pages; When democratic rule was ended by the conquering Macedonians in 322, the Athenians had evolved principles and practice of democratic ideology that became the direct inspiration of those liberal ideas cherished by the Western world in the 19th and 20th centuries. Mogens Hansen examines Athenian democracy both as a political system and as an ideology. In describing the former he distinguished between the three major decision-making organs - the Assembly, the Legislators and the Peoples Courts, and the magistrates who were responsible both for preparing the agenda for the legislature and for carrying its decisions into effect. In discussing Athenian democratic ideology Dr Hansen also makes the important distinction between the ideals held by the democrats themselves and those imputed to them by the critics of democracy, principally (and ironically, given that they would barely have survived under any other system) the philosophers. The Athenians conceived liberty both as the ability to participate in the decision-making process, and as the right to live without oppression from the state or other citizens. Equality was conceived not as an equality of nature, but as an equality of opportunity. "The Athenian Democracy in the Age of Demosthenes" is based on more than 30 years sustained research.

It tells how they live in this war - how men, women, and children work and fight; how, whenever they can, they enjoy themselves; what they read and what they believe in; what they are fighting to preserve and to archive; what changes the war has brought about."

"One of Hobson's lesser known works which provides evidence that he remained a lifelong Cobdenite. He was assisted by Sidney Webb in the 'preparation and correction' of the book. Hobson condemns indirect taxes which in his view are 'generally worse than worthless for purposes of revenue, producing little, costing much, and interfering with the general productivity of industry and commerce'. In Part I Hobson 'sets forth the principles upon which the tax-system should be reformed in order to provide for debt - charges and reconstruction; and in Part II discusses measures of 'emergency finance', especially the capital levy."
