Thanks to Matthew Sears for co-writing this piece with me for the @theglobeandmail.com: it was fun! Our focus is on the broader meaning of a quote from 5th c. BCE historian and general Thucydides' Melian Dialogue used by Mark Carney in his Davos speech. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: ‘Might is right’ led to the Athenians’ downfall. Trump should heed their warning – and Carney’s
Hegemons eventually fall victim to the consequences of the brutal world they help to forge. America would be wise to learn that just treatment is in everyone’s interests
