The Economy of the Roman World by Jean Andreau, Corina Kesler, Ellen Bauerle, and David Pott... more The Economy of the Roman World
by Jean Andreau, Corina Kesler, Ellen Bauerle, and David Potter
The ancient economy has long been a hotly debated topic. Did citizens of the ancient world understand markets? Did they have economic policies? Did cities produce or consume? What effect did the ager publicus have on production and prices? Now available in English for the first time, Jean Andreau's latest volume on economic behavior in the Roman world investigates these questions and more. Translated from the French, The Economy of the Roman World is written for those new to ancient economic issues, and also for those curious about the broader context of artifacts they may know well, like amphorae, glassware, or the famous garumfermented fish sauce. All Greek and Latin terms are translated. Each chapter is accompanied by translations of selected original documents from across the Roman Empire: ancient inscriptions, letters, passages from contemporary essayists. Maps of Italy and the Empire mark the many cities and regions that the author discusses in his comprehensive volume.

They show the results of PCR's applied utopian metanarrative: from the appropriation of personal land and public space, to its architectural transformation; from the temporal impositions on citizens' private time via mandatory meetings and long queues for basic staples, to the Machiavellian designs to turn people against each other and create a generalized atmosphere of distrust. These pictures tell the story of a people whom utopia had by the throat. They show, in somber black and white, a very different side of the communist society, which was portrayed in national and international media as thriving, abundant, and happy. As they add substantive evidence to the narrative accounts presented in the main project, but would have detracted from the smooth progression of the main argument, I have decided to use all such material here. I developed, around them, a short essay supporting both the main hypothesis and emphasizing the need to look not just "between the lines," but also from a different angle at these particular conditions that generated the analogous utopian tradition in Romania.
