This is the first full work since Hasebroek's Trade and Politics in
the Ancient World to deal directly with the place of maritime
traders in ancient Greece. Its main assumption is that traders'
juridical, economic, political and unofficial standing can only be
viewed correctly through the lens of the polis framework. It argues
that those engaging in inter-regional trade with classical Athens
were mainly poor and foreign (hence politically inert at Athens).
Moreover, Athens, as well as other classical Greek poleis, resorted
to limited measures, well short of war or other modes of economic
imperialism, to attract them. However, at least in the minds of
individual Athenians considerations of traders' indispensability to
Athens displaced what otherwise would have been low estimations of
their social status.
