The Ancient Economy - (Sather Classical Lectures) by M I Finley (Paperback)

The Ancient Economy by M.I Finley is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional assumptions about ancient economies.

Finley argues that 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.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in pre-modern modes of production, exchange, and consumption.

With a new foreword by Ian Morris, this classic work remains just as electrifying today as when it was first written.
