The Roman Market Economy uses the tools of modern economics to show how trade, markets, and the Pax Romana were critical to ancient Rome's prosperity. Peter Temin, one of the world's foremost economic historians, argues that markets dominated the Roman economy. He traces how the Pax Romana encouraged trade around the Mediterranean, and how Roman law promoted commerce and banking. Temin shows that a reasonably vibrant market for wheat extended throughout the empire, and suggests that the Antonine Plague may have been responsible for turning the stable prices of the early empire into the persistent inflation of the late. He vividly describes how various markets operated in Roman times, from commodities and slaves to the buying and selling of land. Applying modern methods for evaluating economic growth to data culled from historical sources, Temin argues that Roman Italy in the second century was as prosperous as the Dutch Republic in its golden age of the seventeenth century. The Roman Market Economy reveals how economics can help us understand how the Roman Empire could have ruled seventy million people and endured for centuries.Princeton economic history of the Western world.(DE-601)104346884(DE-588)4066399-1Wirtschaftgnd(DE-601)104346965(DE-588)4037621-7Marktgnd(DE-601)104483865(DE-588)4032950-1Kreditwesengnd(DE-601)105835560(DE-588)4112667-1Bankgeschäftgnd(DE-601)106304852(DE-588)4023222-0Handelgnd(DE-601)106320009(DE-588)4019889-3GeldgndHISTORY / Ancient / RomebisacshRomeEconomic conditionsRomeEconomic policyRomeCommerceWirtschaftMarktKreditwesenBankgeschäftHandelGeldHISTORY / Ancient / Rome.330.937Temin Peter121039MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779336903321Roman market economy257009UNINA03329nam 2200589 450 991082342690332120231206220816.00-88755-502-00-88755-504-710.1515/9780887555046(CKB)3710000000657318(EBL)4180476(OCoLC)940512964(Au-PeEL)EBL4828017(CaPaEBR)ebr11367928(CaONFJC)MIL828927(OCoLC)910775786(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/xx28gh(MiAaPQ)EBC4828017(DE-B1597)664730(DE-B1597)9780887555046(PPN)252621611(MiAaPQ)EBC4180476(EXLCZ)99371000000065731820170419h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierApostate Englishman Grey Owl the writer and the myths /Albert BrazWinnipeg, Manitoba :University of Manitoba Press,2015.©20151 online resource (217 p.)0-88755-778-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Grey Owl's search for his "true" self : The vanishing frontier/The men of the last frontier -- The dual conversion of Grey Owl : Pilgrims of the wild -- The modern Hiawatha : Sajo and the Beaver People, Tales of an empty cabin, and other writings -- The passionarte prospector : Anahareo, Grey Owl, and the idea of indigenous transparency -- Life after the death of the author : the posthumous image of Grey Owl -- Conclusion : Grey Owl as a Caucasian apostate."In the 1930s Grey Owl was considered the foremost conservationist and nature writer in the world. He owed his fame largely to his four internationally bestselling books, which he supported with a series of extremely popular illustrated lectures across North America and Great Britain. His reputation was transformed radically, however, after he died in April 1938, and it was revealed that he was not of mixed Scottish-Apache ancestry, as he had often claimed, but in fact an Englishman named Archie Belaney. Born into a privileged family in the dominant culture of his time, what compelled him to flee to a far less powerful one? Albert Braz's Apostate Englishman: Grey Owl the Writer and the Myths is the first comprehensive study of Grey Owl's cultural and political image in light of his own writings. While the denunciations of Grey Owl after his death are often interpreted as a rejection of his appropriation of another culture, Braz argues that what troubled many people was not only that Grey Owl deceived them about his identity, but also that he had forsaken European culture for the North American Indigenous way of life. That is, he committed cultural apostasy."--Provided by publisher.ConservationistsCanadaBiographyAnahareo.Archie Belaney.Grey Owl.Conservationists639.9092Braz Albert1957-1702103MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823426903321Apostate Englishman4110782UNINA
