  1. Bret Devereaux

    Ancient and military historian specialising in the economy…

    Sparta was – if you will permit the comparison – an ancient North Korea. An over-militarized, paranoid state which was able only to protect its own systems of internal brutality and which added only oppression to the sum of the human experience.
