It's so interesting & eye-opening to hear an author speak so enthusiastically about events SO long ago. He makes those ancient citizens come alive. 🙄

Edward Watts and Mitch are fascinating thinkers. This discussion is so relevant today because we are facing both domestic and international political dynamics that we can learn and analyze from Rome and other ancient civilizations.

Why focus on the politicians when the problem is the extreme inequality and the state's indifference towards 80% of its citizens.
