À propos de cette écoute
Welcome to Episode 6, where we explore Section 5 of our book, tracing the fascinating evolution of the Athenian state from its roots in kinship groups to the birth of a democratic republic.
In this episode, we dive into the transformation of Athens as economic changes—such as the emergence of private property, commodity production, and the use of money—undermined traditional social bonds based on kinship. We examine how the introduction of central authority and landmark reforms by figures like Solon and Cleisthenes shifted Athens toward a territory-based political system organized by wealth classes. Finally, we discuss the critical roles of slavery and economic inequality in shaping and eventually challenging the Athenian democracy. Join us to uncover how evolving social and economic forces forged one of history’s most influential city-states.
