Episode 2: The Individual Versus the State Hosted by Victor Davis Hanson
Greece’s two most powerful city-states offered competing models. Sparta was more authoritarian, limiting its democracy to an oligarchic elite supported by serfs. Athens extended citizenship to a wider group, but often fell prey to the tyranny of the majority.

The Romans rejected oligarchy, but created a republican system with checks and balances that reined in democratic excesses. Ep 2/8
