[Styria]

The authors are stretching. Athens kept fighting that war for 27? years after the plague, getting back on its feet each time it had a downturn. It was hubris that beat them, as well as trying to conquer Sicily. Try tried twice! It's like losing the Normandy invasion force, and then turning around and having the common resolve to send in a second expeditionary force of equal size by popular vote. Hubris, but there's nothing quite like the Greeks.

Fruits of globalism coming to your neighborhood soon.

This is what I worried about globalization back in 90's when it gained momentum: the increased possibility of new pandemic sweeping the world. Even considering the benefit of globalization this gave me a pause.

Obviously, we had "financial pandemic" first. However, this one can still come.
