Recent work on the ancient economy has tended to concentrate on
market exchange, but other forces also caused goods to change
hands. Such nonmarket transfers ranged from small private gifts to
the wholesale confiscation of cities, lands, and their peoples. The
papers presented in this volume examine aspects of this
extramercantile economy, particularly benefaction and the role of
associations, as well as their impact on the market economy. This
volume brings together ancient historians, New Testament scholars,
and classicists to assess critically the New Institutional
Economics framework. Combining theoretical approaches with detailed
investigations of particular regions and topics, its chapters
examine Greek economic thought, the benefits of membership in
private associations, and the economic role of civic euergetism
from classical Athens to the municipalities of Roman Spain. The
Extramercantile Economies of Greek and Roman Cities will be of use
to those interested in the economic context of ancient religions,
the role of associations in the economy, theoretical approaches to
the study of the ancient economy, labor and politics in the ancient
city, as well as how Greek philosophers, from Xenophon to
Philodemus, developed ethical ideas about economic behavior.
