Focusing on the principal determinants, features and consequences of Roman economic development and integrating additional web-based materials, it is designed as an up-to-date survey that is accessible to all audiences. Five main sections discuss theoretical approaches drawn from economics, labor regimes, the production of power and goods, various means of distribution from markets to predation, and the success and ultimate failure of the Roman economy. The book not only covers traditionally prominent features such as slavery, food production and monetization but also highlights the importance of previously neglected aspects such as the role of human capital, energy generation, rent-taking, logistics and human wellbeing, and convenes a group of five experts to debate the nature of Roman trade. 410 0$aCambridge companions to the ancient world. 607 $aRome$xEconomic conditions$y30 B.C.-476 A.D 676 $a330.937 686 $aHIS002000$2bisacsh 702 $aScheidel$b Walter$f1966- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996204518803316 996 $aCambridge companion to the Roman economy$9265155 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
