In the face of increasingly compelling arguments for the existence of a market economy in classical Athens, the Finleyan orthodoxy is finally relinquishing its long dominion. In this book, Barry O’Halloran seeks to contribute to this renewed debate by re-interrogating the ancient evidence using more recent economic interpretative frameworks. The aim is to re-evaluate accepted orthodoxies and present the economic history of this emblematic city-state in a new light. More specifically, it analyses the economic foundations of Athens through the prism of its navy. Its macroeconomic approach utilises an employment-demand model through which enormous naval defence expenditures created an exceptional period of demand-led economic growth.Mnemosyne, Supplements425.NaviesGreeceAthensHistorySea-powerEconomic aspectsGreeceAthensHistoryAthens (Greece)Economic conditionsAthens (Greece)HistoryNaviesHistory.Sea-powerEconomic aspectsHistory.330.938/5O'Halloran Barry1090871NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910793279503321The political economy of classical Athens3772793UNINA
