In this episode of the FCP, I talk with Dr. Josiah (Josh) Ober Mitsotakis Professor of Political Science and Classics at Stanford University. Dr. Ober recently authored the book "The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece." We discuss how decentralization and competition between city states gave rise to the highest standard of living of the ancient world. A feat that would not be matched until the 20th century.   Links: http://www.stanford.edu/~jober/   https://stanford.academia.edu/JosiahOber The Rise and Fall of Ancient Greece
