The Invention of Coinage and the Monetization of Ancient Greece
Author: David SchapsPublisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472036408
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Coinage appeared at a moment when it fulfilled an essential need in Greek society and brought with it rationalization and social leveling in some respects, while simultaneously producing new illusions, paradoxes, and new elites. In a book that will encourage scholarly discussion for some time, David M. Schaps addresses a range of important coinage topics, among them money, exchange, and economic organization in the Near East and in Greece before the introduction of coinage; the invention of coinage and the reasons for its adoption; and the developing use of money to make more money.
Money and the Early Greek Mind
Author: Richard SeafordPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521539920
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
How were the Greeks of the sixth century BC able to invent philosophy and tragedy? In this book Richard Seaford argues that a large part of the answer can be found in another momentous development, the invention and rapid spread of coinage, which produced the first ever thoroughly monetised society. By transforming social relations monetisation contributed to the ideas of the universe as an impersonal system, fundamental to Presocratic philosophy, and of the individual alienated from his own kin and from the gods, as found in tragedy.
