By pursuing an interdisciplinary approach, including contributions by archaeologists, historians of antiquity, economic historians as well as historians of economic thought, it studies different aspects of ancient economies, such as the material living conditions, including production technologies, etc., economic institutions, such as markets or coinage, as wekk as the economic thinking of the time. It hereby explores the comparability of economic thought, economic institutions and economic systems in ancient history. Focusing on the Ancient Near East as well as the Mediterranean, including Greece and Rome, the comparative perspective makes it possible to identify historical permanencies, but also diverse forms of social and political organization and cultural systems. These institutions are evaluated in terms of their capacity to solve economic problems, such as the efficient use of resources or political stability. The first part of the book introduces readers to the methodological context of the comparative approach, including an evaluation of the related historiographical tradition. Subsequent parts discuss a range of development models, elements of economic thinking in ancient societies, the role of trade and globalization, and the use of monetary and financial instruments, as well as political aspects. 410 0$aFrontiers in Economic History,$x2662-978X 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aHistoriography 606 $aHistory$xMethodology 606 $aEurope$xHistory$xTo 476 606 $aEconomics 606 $aHistory, Ancient 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 606 $aHistoriography and Method 606 $aHistory of Ancient Europe 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aClassical Studies 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aHistoriography. 615 0$aHistory$xMethodology. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$xTo 476. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aHistory, Ancient. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 615 24$aHistoriography and Method. 615 24$aHistory of Ancient Europe. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aClassical Studies. 676 $a330.9 676 $a330.93 702 $aPoettinger$b Monika 702 $aSchefold$b Bertram 702 $aFrangipane$b M$g(Marcella), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910592980003321 996 $aAncient economies in comparative perspective$93005692 997 $aUNINA
