Humble, versatile, prescriptive; lays out just how, among other things, non-hierarchical approaches to society and decision making have been practiced by almost every culture and group of peoples, /except/ those inspired by ancient Greece. Deals, therefore, a fatal blow to authoritarian / majoritarian/ oligcarchic realisim (iron law of oligarhcy, etc.).
