The Economy of Ancient Egypt

State, Administration, Institutions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Taking ancient records as the starting point for analysis, this book theorises the state, administration and economy of ancient Egypt. The Egyptian state is theorised as an administrative field of material and symbolic powers with emphasis upon the latter because it has received scant attention in Egyptology.
