Matthias’s Reviews > Peasant-Citizen and Slave: The Foundations of Athenian Democracy > Status Update

EMW’s introducing a lot of evidence here that slaves couldn’t have made up the majority Attica’s rural workforce but - not to immediately introduce World System-y objections to a work of hers that’s nominally on another subject - wasn’t Athens a major food importer? Maybe she’ll address this later but it seems pretty fatal to an analysis of the class system of Athens/Attica as such.
