Document Details : Title: Writing the Economic History for the Late Antique East Subtitle: A Review Author(s): ALSTON, R. Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 3 Issue: 1 Date: 2004 Pages: 124-136 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.3.1.3291942 Abstract : This article reviews the proceedings of a conference on economy and exchange and uses those papers to establish something of the shifting academic context to which these papers contribute. Analysis of the current state of knowledge and academic debate suggests that current theories of exchange and the ancient economy are inadequate and leads to a call for new methodologies and theories. |
