Carthage was a plutocracy and the real power of the state lay in the hands of a dozen big ship-owners and mine-owners and merchants who met in the back room of an office and regarded their common Fatherland as a business enterprise which ought to yield them a decent profit. (查看原文)
Of course, such a "plutocracy" was forever at the mercy of the crowd. As long as there was plenty of work and wages were high, the majority of the citizens were quite contented, allowed their "betters" to rule them and asked no embarrassing questions. But when no ships left the harbor, when no ore was brought to the smelting-ovens, when dockworkers and stevedores were thrown out of employment, then there were grumblings and there was a demand that the popular assembly be called together as in the olden days when Carthage had been a self-governing republic.

这是房龙经典的作品之一，我很喜欢西方的历史，尤其对古代史特别感兴趣，于是开始读这本书，虽然全英文，总有很多生僻的单词，但是，整体文章很流畅，读起来也是一种享受：）

又读一遍。很少有书读三遍的。重读是因为最近读过一些通史，感觉需要及时疏通一下世界史，以更新认知。
