Автор: Walter Scheidel Название: The Cambridge Economic History of the Greco-Roman World Издательство: Cambridge University Press Год: 2007 ISBN: 978-0521780537 Язык: English Формат: pdf Размер: 22,6 mb Страниц: 960
The approach taken is both thematic, with chapters on the underlying determinants of economic performance, and chronological, with coverage of the whole of the Greek and Roman worlds extending from the Aegean Bronze Age to Late Antiquity. The contributors move beyond the substantivist-formalist debates that dominated twentieth-century scholarship and display a new interest in economic growth in antiquity. New methods for measuring economic development are explored, often combining textual and archaeological data that have previously been treated separately. Fully accessible to non-specialist, the volume represents a major advance in our understanding of the economic expansion that made the civilisation of the classical Mediterranean world possible.
