商品簡介
Having harbored a lifelong interest in the ancient world, Hampus-Lyttkens (economics, Lund U., Sweden) has been delighted that in recent years the idea that modern economics is not pertinent in classical studies, and vice versa--has fallen aside. Scholars are now investigating both avenues, and the author has accomplished his ambition of preparing a book that shows what we can learn about ancient economies by applying modern economics, and how a study of the ancient world can inform us about today's world. He examines the road to democracy, taxation, institutions and markets, and institutional change. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
