The comprehensive analysis of Athens' public finances opens up a new approach to this hinge period between classical and Hellenism and explains the evident change in the political order through the gradual and consensual transformation of the broad-based deliberative democracy into one led from above, but through the attribution of competencies and moral-political trust Consent democracy carried into the ruling elite. Thus an adaptable mechanism had been created, as it was then to prevail in many places in Hellenism and which was constitutive for it. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Von der Deliberationsdemokratie zur Zustimmungsdemokratie by Dorothea Rohde, published by J.B. Metzler Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors. . 606 $aEurope$xHistory$xTo 476 606 $aHistory of Ancient Europe 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$xTo 476. 615 14$aHistory of Ancient Europe. 676 $a336.09385 700 $aRohde$b Dorothea$01354041 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910717417103321 996 $aFrom Deliberative Democracy to Consent Democracy$93294452 997 $aUNINA
