The full sweep of business history actually begins much earlier, with the initial cities of Mesopotamia. In the first book to describe and explain these origins, Roberts depicts the society of ancient traders and consumers, tracing the roots of modern business and underscoring the relationship between early and modern business practice. Roberts's narrative begins before business, which he defines as selling to voluntary buyers at a profit. Before business, he shows, the material conditions and concepts for the pursuit of profit did not exist, even though trade and manufacturing took place. The earliest business, he suggests, arose with the long distance trade of early Mesopotamia, and expanded into retail, manufacturing and finance in these command economies, culminating in the Middle Eastern empires. (Part One) But it was the largely independent rise of business, money, and markets in classical Greece that produced business much as we know it. Alexander the Great's conquests and the societies that his successors created in their kingdoms brought a version of this system to the old Middle Eastern empires, and beyond. (Part Two) At Rome this entrepreneurial market system gained important new features, including business corporations, public contracting, and even shopping malls. The story concludes with the sharp decline of business after the 3rd century CE. (Part Three) In each part, Roberts portrays the major new types of business coming into existence. He weaves these descriptions into a narrative of how the prevailing political, economic, and social culture shaped the nature and importance of business and the status, wealth, and treatment of business people. Throughout, the discussion indicates how much (and how little) business has changed, provides a clear picture of what business actually is, presents a model for understanding the social impact of business as a whole, and yields stimulating insights for public policy today. 606 $aCommerce$xHistory$yTo 500 606 $aHistory, Ancient 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommerce$xHistory 615 0$aHistory, Ancient. 676 $a330.901 700 $aRoberts$b Keith$f1943-$0513086 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456285203321 996 $aOrigins of business, money, and markets$9760997 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05557nam 2200733Ia 450 001 9910807918503321 005 20230802012823.0 010 $a1-119-20343-0 010 $a1-118-28276-0 010 $a1-283-59257-6 010 $a9786613905024 010 $a1-118-28516-6 035 $a(CKB)2560000000093210 035 $a(EBL)894243 035 $a(OCoLC)778828917 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000711605 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11411157 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000711605 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10722055 035 $a(PQKB)10101728 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC894243 035 $a(DLC) 2012008598 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL894243 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10596941 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL390502 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000093210 100 $a20120228d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMultinational finance $eevaluating opportunities, costs, and risks of operations /$fKirt C.
