The Ancient Greek Economy: Markets, Households and City-States
brings together sixteen essays by leading scholars of the ancient
Greek economy specialising in history, economics, archaeology and
numismatics. Marshalling a wide array of evidence, these essays
investigate and analyse the role of market-exchange in the economy
of the ancient Greek world, demonstrating the central importance of
markets for production and exchange of goods and services during
the Classical and Hellenistic periods. Contributors draw on
evidence from literary texts and inscriptions, household
archaeology, amphora studies and numismatics. Together, the essays
provide an original and compelling approach to the issue of
explaining economic growth in the ancient Greek world.
