NFL superstar Brian "The Boz" Bosworth makes his movie debut as John Stone, the only cop tough enough to take out a gang of stone-cold killers. Going undercover, he has to pose as an outlaw biker to win the trust of their diabolic leader Chains (Lance Henriksen) and his right-hand psychopath Ice (William Forsythe).

Stone soon discovers there's more to these bikers than heavy metal mayhem. They're plotting a paramilitary assault on the State Capitol, where one of their men has been sentenced to execution. In a spectacular climax, Stone is up against the gang and on his own. And the killers soon discover that if you go up against John Stone, he'll burn you cold…Stone Cold.

Pre-order Stone Cold.

Brian Bosworth in Stone Cold (1991)

Was keeping the war conquest machine important for Macedon as a country or for Alexander's new empire in an economic sense? As in, if Alexander stopped conquering, the whole thing would fall apart in a financial-economic perspective?

If anything, I think part of what tanked Alexander's empire at his death was the fact he hadn't quit conquering long enough to actually consolidate anything.

In ancient economics (which were pretty basic, relatively), short-term war (when one is winning) is good for the economy. It brings in resources in the form of booty. It also tends to favor innovation (over stagnation). The reason is that innovation is required in order to win.

So for instance, Philip hired engineers for his army (artillery), but their inventions of torsion catapults and ballistae had a lot of secondary uses. Also, his success in war funneled enough money back into the country to create a visible middle class.

But when wars drag on-and-on-and-on-and-on, even when winning, the end result is a mixture of sapping the population and not allowing consolidation. Philip's wars began to verge on that, and Alexander only extended the problem. The Macedonian (especially male) population plummeted by the early Hellenistic era. This is something Brian Bosworth wrote about. While his conclusions were, imo, overly modern, and strident ("a never-ending dance of death"), the observation itself is true enough.

There's also simply the problem of running the areas one has conquered. How much damage to infrastructure did the conquest cause? By infrastructure here, I mean both physical AND economic. Alas, our ancient sources rarely focus on these matters. Conquest was glorious. Administration was boring. I fear the modern news media's fixation on chaos (political and social) exacerbates our addiction to it. But people really want to live in UNinteresting times! (Why ancient Ur III, a hugely successful Sumerian dynastic period, is also pretty boring to lecture about.)

Anyway, Alexander's failure to fully secure his conquests is one of the problems with his reign. Partly, he just didn't live long enough. But he also had itchy feet and, I think, was only beginning to appreciate the need for stabilizing things such as trade and competent administration in the latter years of his life.

The Boz was my Disney princess

For those who were little girls in the 90's-early 2000's... everybody had a Disney princess that was Theirs. Maybe it wasn't even your favorite one but it was the one you felt most appropriate to be on a birthday card addressed to you.

(Quiz does not include Disney princesses that came out after I was 10)
