Ancient Democracy & Religion, Migration. Power + Money
With renowned experts on ancient Greek history and economy to explore how citizens of ancient Greek
city-states dealt with problems that confront democracies around the world today. The comparison is illuminating
because it demonstrates fundamental dierences and similarities between the roles and responsibilities of
citizens then and now. The discussion will focus on both the roles of state institutions and authorities and the
importance of individual civic responsibilities of citizens to participate in and take responsibility for the health,
wealth, and values of their states.
