Descripción
Sumario:Roland Boer and Christina Petterson investigate economic realities in the first century. Theoretically flexible and responsive to historical data, their use of Régulation theory takes seriously the centrality of agriculture in the ancient world and finds economic instability to be the norm, except for brief episodes of imposed stability. The Roman world was in crisis as slavery expanded, transforming the agricultural economy so that slave estates could supply the needs of the polis. Particular Christian writings respond to economic instability and changing social relationships.
