Reviewer Comments:
The book is not exactly what I had expected to be in content but rather does
contain much commentary about the professional study of ancient economy that is
very revealing. The focus is on the methods employed by academic economists or
historians with a penchant for including economics among their considerations.
It also incudes some attention to archeology since so much of the information
available for study is obtained by archeologists.
