Abstract

The Ancient Economy introduces readers to the nature of economic life in the ancient world, and provides a valuable guide to scholarly debates on the subject.

Leading experts address the central issues, from agricultural production to the uses of money and the creation of markets. Taken as a whole the book exemplifies the range of interdisciplinary perspectives on the ancient economy, and illustrates the methodological

Abstract

Historians and archaeologists normally assume that the economies of ancient Greece and Rome between about 1000 BC and AD 500 were distinct from those of Egypt and the Near East. However, very different kinds of evidence survive from each of these areas, and specialists have, as a result, developed very different methods of analysis for each region. This book marks the first time that historians and archaeologists of Egypt, the Near East, Greece, and Rome have come together with sociologists, political scientists, and economists, to ask whether the differences between accounts of these regions reflect real economic differences in the past, or are merely a function of variations in the surviving evidence and the intellectual traditions that have grown up around it. The contributors describe the types of evidence available and demonstrate the need for clearer thought about the relationships between evidence and models in ancient economic history, laying the foundations for a new comparative account of economic structures and growth in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Abstract

"Technical progress, economic growth, productivity, even efficiency have not been significant goals since the beginning of time," declares M. I. Finley in his classic work. The states of the ancient Mediterranean world had no recognizable real-property market, never fought a commercially inspired war, witnessed no drive to capital formation, and assigned the management of many substantial enterprises to slaves and ex-slaves. In short, to study the economies of the ancient world, one must begin by discarding many premises that seemed self-evident before Finley showed that they were useless or misleading. Available again, with a new foreword by Ian Morris, these sagacious, fertile, and occasionally combative essays are just as electrifying today as when Finley first wrote them.

Abstract

Les économies de l'Antiquité changent, et elles changent profondément. Il n'y a pas une seule économie antique, plus ou moins identique à elle-même d'Homère à Constantin. Les contributions rassemblées dans ce livre instaurent un dialogue entre historiens des textes, archéologues, technologues et environnementalistes pour comprendre les ressorts de ces transformations. Elles abandonnent ainsi le primitivisme de la stagnation aussi bien que le fétichisme de la croissance. De l'Inde à l'Atlantique, de l'âge du Bronze au début du Moyen Âge, en accordant la première place à l'évaluation des sources existantes et à la production de données nouvelles, elles suivent certains produits et certaines techniques (céréales, dattes, coton, salaisons, poivre, perles, mouture) de leur mise au point à leur diffusion, sans cacher les revers et les retours. C'est la diversité et les dynamiques des mondes antiques, dans leur originalité profonde, qui se révèlent ici.
