Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From Aristotle to John Adams, great minds of government have revered Carthaginian democracy as the purest expression of a people's will. Yet today, while Phoenician influence on the Graeco-Roman worlds has been revisited and corrected from the perspectives of art, architecture, industry, crafts, and writing systems, the sphere of government in general and constitutional democracy in particular are still largely, and incorrectly, considered to be purely within thepreserve of ancient Greece or Athens.This book is the first comprehensive treatment of Phoenician government, drawing on archaeological, epigraphic, and historical sources. ThePhoenicians introduced a brand of state-level society that enfranchised not only men, but also women, children, and even slaves into the popular assembly. Phoenician governmental leaders fostered a foreign and domestic policy that emphasized development, political stability, and economic growth insured by mutual incentives, as well as shared ritual practice, marriage alliances, social mobility, and concern for commoners, at home and abroad. This sustainable form of global leadership lasted foraround eight centuries (~1000DS146 BC).This work in no way attempts to diminish the exceptional Athenian democracy and its subsequent positive effects on political history and thepeoples who have benefited from its legacy. Rather this work amplifies ancient Greek democracy to help us better understand its origins, as well as expanding democratic heritage. In turn, it serves as an historical corrective that recenters democracy as a conversation and a competition between peoples as opposed to a monolithic institution. It highlights an alternative model of imperial democracy. Despite popular perception, the Greeks didn't invent democracy. The idea of the assembly in the town square can be traced back to Mesopotamia, but how did democracy reach the Greeks? This book uses archaeology, inscriptions, and historical texts to show that it was the Phoenicians who introduced the idea of the democratic state to the Aegean.
