Lessons from Thucydides

David R. Kotok has written the monograph pamphlet, “Lessons from Thucydides” detailing information asymmetries and their implications for investors and world affairs. The concept of a Thucydides Trap and its rise and avoidability (or lack thereof) is often debated and David makes a case for dealing with them weaving current and historical events into a comprehensive narrative.

In 430 BC, a plague struck the city of Athens, which was then under siege by Sparta during the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC). In the next 3 years, most of the population was infected, and perhaps as many as 75,000 to 100,000 people, 25% of the city’s population, died. The Athenian general and historian Thucydides left an eye-witness account of this plague along with observations of its impact and subsequent shift in military/political power.

This free monograph also has lessons for President Donald Trump’s trade policy. Can the United States avoid a Thucydides Trap with China & Xi Jinping?

Will you benefit from the Lessons of Thucydides or fall victim to a Thucydides Trap? If information is key, you now have a handbook at your fingertips.

Getting Screwed by the Screwworm Quick Take Jun 09, 2026

We eradicated the screwworm scourge a half century ago. Thanks to the new policy led by the co-author of Project 2025, the screwworms have returned and will cost Texas and all of American ranchers billions while threatening citizens with a fatal infection that they don’t know about and are not prepared for.

Middle East Peace: Fantasy or Possibility? Part 1

If President Donald Trump can bring about a durable peace in the Middle East, he will have accomplished a remarkable feat (miracle?). IMO, it will take rendering Iran’s IRGC impotent to achieve that outcome.
