This is a great book and a model of its kind.\"\u003cb\u003e--Francois de Callataÿ, Royal Library of Belgium\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In this lucid, fine-grained, at times meditative, and witty account of the economy of ancient Greece, Bresson's prose sparkles with a full command of the ancient sources, the economic history literature, and the debates about how to use both. This is a marvelous, evocative book that is sure to provoke reactions in many quarters.\"\u003cb\u003e--J. G. Manning, Yale University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This magisterial book provides an entirely new way of thinking about the ancient Greek economy. Alain Bresson is one of the world's leading authorities on the subject and has contributed mightily to reconfiguring the debate about it. Combining new theoretical approaches, a deep knowledge of ancient sources, and a remarkably wide reading in the economic history of other periods, he provides a comprehensive introduction full of detail, evidence, and argument. And he avoids jargon and insider talk, writing in a direct and clear prose that invites one in. This groundbreaking book will be read for many years to come.\"\u003cb\u003e--Gary Reger, Trinity College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45268580860055,"sku":"9780691144702","price":3367.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780691144702.webp?v=1769236170","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-making-of-the-ancient-greek-economy-institutions-markets-and-growth-in-the-city-states-9780691144702","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
