This is a concise survey of the economy of the Byzantine Empire
from the fourth century AD to the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
Organised chronologically, the book addresses key themes such as
demography, agriculture, manufacturing and the urban economy,
trade, monetary developments, and the role of the state and
ideology. It provides a comprehensive overview of the economy with
an emphasis on the economic actions of the state and the productive
role of the city and non-economic actors, such as landlords,
artisans and money-changers. The final chapter compares the
Byzantine economy with the economies of western Europe and
concludes that the Byzantine economy was one of the most successful
examples of a mixed economy in the pre-industrial world. This is
the only concise general history of the Byzantine economy and will
be essential reading for students of economic history, Byzantine
history and medieval history more generally.
