Summary
"This is a survey of the economy of the Byzantine Empire from the fourth century AD to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Organized chronologically, the book addresses themes such as demography, agriculture, manufacturing and the urban economy, trade, monetary developments, and the role of the state and ideology. It provides an overview of the economy with an emphasis on the economic actions of the state, the productive role of the city, and the role of non-state economic actors, such as landlords, artisans, and money-changers. The final chapter compares the Byzantine economy with the economics of western Europe and concludes that it was one of the most successful examples of a mixed economy in the pre-industrial world."--Jacket.
