How did the first democracy die?

That's what he says, in fact, early in his history about the future. He doesn't put it quite in that optimistic a way, but it's implied. What does he say? Well, he says that he wants his work to be a possession for all time. He says, for those who want to know about the future, this work will be valuable. Because as long as human nature is what it is, similar things will happen again.

How did the first democracy die?

And if you know the kinds of things that are likely to happen, you can in fact plan for them. And you can try to avoid them. It's not that you're likely to avoid them, but it's possible you may. And I think, no, I believe this. This is to me the inherent optimism that goes along with history, even if you have a dark view of human nature.

How did the first democracy die?

So I don't believe that it's impossible for better things to happen in the future. And it's one of the reasons I study the past.
