My writing is totally incoherent. Here's what I meant to say: Contrary to JKS's headline, the authors aren't pro-slavery, seeing instead Athenian slavery and the treatment of women & foreigners as an "Achilles heel" of the system. The book seems to be an effort to make money out of the humanities by entering the field of pop-management literature. It won't go far, since I doubt that corporations will like the idea of choosing the CEO by lot...
