商品描述
This book discusses the extent to which Thomas Piketty's work can offer a model for ancient economic history, both methodologically and politically. The book derives from a research workshop in Berlin in April 2018, which brought together a group of established and early career scholars to discuss the implications of Piketty's work and related themes for classical antiquity. Key questions reflected in the text include: d: How should we characterise the 'development' of the economy/economies of the classical Mediterranean, in relation to the role of 'capital' and the prevalence of inequality? How was wealth, both public and private, evaluated and managed? How much of the wealth of their society did the ancient 1% control - and is their dominance better understood in terms of the power of capital, or the role of predation and state capture? How far did certain ancient polities - above all the Greek city-states - succeed in placing limits on the power of the rich and integrating their interests with those of the masses? Did inequality increase between the height of the Roman Principate and late antiquity, as is often believed? This book will be valuable reading for academics and students working in economic history, ancient history, and other related fields.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了托馬斯·皮凱提（Thomas Piketty）的研究在古代經濟歷史中能提供多大程度的模型，無論是在方法論上還是政治上。本書源自於2018年4月在柏林舉行的一個研究工作坊，該工作坊聚集了一群資深學者和早期職業學者，討論皮凱提的研究及相關主題對古典古代的影響。文本中反映的關鍵問題包括：我們應如何描述古典地中海經濟的「發展」，與「資本」的角色和不平等的普遍性之間的關係？財富（包括公共和私人財富）是如何被評估和管理的？古代1%的人口控制了他們社會多少的財富——他們的主導地位是更好地理解為資本的力量，還是掠奪和國家攫取的角色？某些古代城邦——尤其是希臘城邦——在限制富人的權力和將其利益與大眾的利益整合方面成功了多少？在羅馬元首制的巔峰與晚期古代之間，不平等是否如常被認為的那樣增加？本書將對從事經濟歷史、古代歷史及其他相關領域的學者和學生具有重要的閱讀價值。
