The notes tell you all you need to know about the reviewer.... I thought this was one of Nichols better efforts, up to par with her Citzens and Statesmen and...
Paul Rahe's Montesquieu and the Logic of Liberty (Yale) is out. I got it yesterday with other things.... So far it's a very good read. It won't get as much...
Yeah but it typically starts with an idea (that money is a medium of exchange and its utility depends on mutual trust and acceptance) but then goes overboard. ...

Hi Marco, The Mosaic prohibition of divination is not a story, but it may have been another innovation that makes Judaism superior to the "Babylonian"...
Dear Mr. Pehme, ... That does not change the fact that there are some places where you can't do that there here, and Sparta was one of them - Crete, not so...
