It gained weight as a key feature of Mediterranean economies in the course of the first millennium BCE, mostly in the form of coinage. But money is more than just coin, and its significance is more pervasive than just to the strict sphere of "the economy". In the ancient Mediterranean, money and its rise to prominence have been predominantly associated with the state. But can money only emerge under state authority? This volume questions the assumed relation between the spread of early forms of money and the state and draws attention to different ways in which money as an innovation could be anchored and socially embedded.Politics of ValuePolitical economybicssceconomymoneyPolitical economyHeymans Elon Dedt1207520Termeer MarleenedtHeymans Elon DothTermeer MarleenothBOOK9910557188603321Politics of Value: New Approaches to Early Money and the State3028412UNINA
