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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000525564 651_0 $$aRome$$xEconomic conditions$$y30 B.C.-476 A.D. 000525564 7001_ $$aScheidel, Walter,$$d1966- 000525564 830_0 $$aCambridge companions to the ancient world. 000525564 85200 $$bgen$$hHC39$$i.C36$$i2012 000525564 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/98225/cover/9780521898225.jpg 000525564 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1210/2012015664-t.html 000525564 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1210/2012015664-b.html 000525564 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1210/2012015664-d.html 000525564 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:525564$$pGLOBAL_SET 000525564 980__ $$aBIB 000525564 980__ $$aBOOK
