Addressing the dearth of literature that has been written on this
key aspect of economic history, Takeshi Amemiya, a well known
leading economist based at Stanford University, analyzes the two
diametrically opposed views about the exact nature of the ancient
Greek economy, putting together a broad and comprehensive survey
that is unprecedented in this field.
Partly a piece of economic history, partly a critique of
utilitarianism, this book explores all areas of the Athenian
economy, including public finance, banking and manufacturing and
trade as well as discussing the historical, cultural, political and
sociological conditions of Ancient Greece and the background in
which the economy developed.
As a teacher of an undergraduate course on the Economy and
Economics of Ancient Greece, Takeshi Amemiya has written an
incisive text that is perfect for undergraduate students of
economic history, Greek history and culture as well as a being a
useful reference point for graduates and of considerable interest
to classicists at any level.
