Description

Book Synopsis
Explores the way democracy and markets flourished in ancient Greece not so much through personal relationships as through trust in abstract systems - including money, standardized measurement, rhetoric, and haggling. This title links Greek political, economic, social, and intellectual history in different ways.

Trade Review
"Full of gems - unfamiliar documents, novel interpretations, unexpected collocations, provocative claims - that offer an extremely valuable contribution to our knowledge of the ancient Greeks' mental world." (Victoria Wohl, University of Toronto)"
