Ancient Greece at Work

Bol

Gustave Glotz traces the development of labor, commerce, and resource management from the Homeric period through the rise of the city-state, concluding with the transition to Roman rule. This work offers a detailed analysis of how the Greek world transformed from a society of self-sufficient households into a sophisticated commercial network.By examining the roles of various social classes-including farmers, artisans, and slaves-the book sheds light on the material foundations that made Greek cultural and political achievements possible. Glotz examines the evolution of industry, the expansion of trade routes, and the changing nature of property and wealth over several centuries. "Ancient Greece at Work" is an essential study for readers interested in the economic history of the ancient Mediterranean, offering profound insights into the everyday toil and systemic structures that defined Hellenic life.
