2:45Now PlayingHistory may not repeat itself, but human nature often does. In this episode, Bill Britt reflects on Thucydides’ warning about Athens and Sparta, and how fear between rising and established powers can destabilize nations. From World War I to the Cold War to today’s tensions between the United States and China, the lesson is clear: power alone does not preserve a civilization—wisdom and restraint do.
