The Ancient Economy Evidence and Models

"This book is witness to the lively debates currently held on ancient economic history. All the authors are resolved to go beyond the orthodoxies established by Finley; they actually do incorporate questions and methods from economic history and theory of other periods without exposing themselves to the accusation of formalism or modernism... This book is an important step towards an economic history or the ancient Mediterranean."-EH.Net "We have waited too long for this fine book."-Journal of Interdisciplinary History "[This book] is an important and timely contribution to a growing field in the study of Mediterranean antiquity."-Canadian Journal of History
