The cultural wealth of the classical Greek world was matched by its material wealth and there is abundant textual and archaeological evidence for both. However radically different theoretical and methodological approaches have been used to interpret this evidence and conflicts continue to rage as these different starting points produce clashing views on the significance and distribution of money labour and land. Money Labour and Land reflects the current explosion in ideas and research by assembling case-studies from an international selection of renowned US British and European scholars. Drawing on comparative historical and anthropological approaches sociological economic and cultural theory and developments in epigraphy legal history numismatics and spatial archaeology this volume will be of interest to all students and scholars of ancient economies. .
