Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Economy of Athens, Vol. 1 of 4: In Four Books; To Which Is Added, a Dissertation on the Silver-Mines of Laurion The Staatshaushaltung der Athener, of which 'a translation is now offered to the public, was pub lished at Berlin in the year 1817. It is preceded by a dedication to Niebuhr, the author of the Roman History, and a short preface, in which Mr. Boeckh, after stating that the knowledge of the ancient history of Greece is still in its infancy, and lamenting that it has so often fallen into the hands of mere compilers or verbal grammarians, considers that it is impossible to gain a complete knowledge of the whole subject before some sub ordinate departments have been fully investigated. The following work he intends to be a contribution Of this nature upon a subject of ancient history little understood. If, he continues, it should appear to many that the length of this work is incommensurate with the importance of its object, the author is comforted by the consciousness 'of having aimed at brevity as much as cleamess of style would permit, and he is afraid of having erred rather on the side of conciseness, thus frequently creating harsh and abrupt transitions, than on that of prolixity. After a few other remarks he pro ceeds to speak Of some inscriptions, on which it is necessary for the translator to say a few words. The latter half of the second volume of the original edition Of his book is occupied by an Ap pendix, which contains twenty-nine Greek inscrip tions, illustrating the subjects treated of in the body of the work. They are accompanied by a most ample commentary; and some of them were, upon the appearance of the original work (in published for the first time.

Download or read book The Economy of Classical Athens written by Emmanouil M. L. M.L. Economou and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In parallel to the development of democracy, the Athenians of the Classical period established a series of sophisticated economic institutions for the time through which they developed a maritime and commercially oriented economy. This book provides a thorough analysis of this transformation and the functioning of the Athenian economy during the Classical period. Through the approach of New Institutional Economics (NIE), the book explores the establishment of key institutions including property rights protection, the legal protection of commercial contracts, prices determined by the forces of supply and demand, institutions against profiteering, banking services, the provision of loans through interest rates, consumer credit, insurance companies and a (primitive) version of joint-stock companies. Furthermore, the book focuses on the structure of the public sector, on how the state budget was determined and on how decisions on public revenues and expenditures were made. It also provides an integrated and detailed analysis of the social welfare policies that were implemented through the provision of a variety of public goods in Classical Athens. Moreover, it focuses on a series of socio-economic aspects such as the social status of women, slaves and foreigners and the viewpoints of prominent Athenian philosophers regarding economic organization. Finally, the book investigates whether an Athenian economic-political model of governance, based on a combination of advanced economic institutions (of free market type logic, even if in a primordial form) and direct democracy principles, can provide any lessons for modern societies. The book will be of great interest to readers of the economy, history and society of Ancient Greece as well as economic historians, ancient historians and policymakers more broadly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Economy of Athens: To Which Is Added, a Dissertation on the Silver Mines of Laurion In connexion with the subject of inscriptions, I may here mention that, in the course of his work, the author, in speaking of the tenure of public land in Attica, has occa sion to quote a proposal or advertisement of a lease, from the original document engraved on stone and still extant*. The inscription is given in the Appendix from a very incorrect transcript made by Chandler, several of whose errors are there rectified. It has Since been published in a more correct form by the author in his collection of inscriptions; but as the copy which he has used is in many parts very defective, there still remained some difficulties which he could not overcome. AS the inscription is preserved in the British Museum, I have made a more accurate copy of it, and taken the liberty of arranging the version in the text, partly according to the latest improvements of the author himself, partly according to what appeared on the inspection of the stone to admit of no doubt.
