Albert Augustus Trever

A History of Greek Economic Thought (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The need of a reinterpretation of Greek economic theory in the light of our modern humanitarian economy is presented in the introduction to this work. If this volume may, in some degree, meet such a need, by awakening the classicist to the existence of important phases of Greek thought with which he is too unfamiliar, and by reminding the economist of the many vital points of contact between Greek and modern economy, our labor will have been amply repaid. There are doubtless errors both in citations and in judgment which will not escape the critic's eye. We trust, however, that the work is, on the whole, a fair representation of the thought of the Greeks in this important field. In the course of our study, we have naturally been obliged to make constant reference to the actual economic environment of the Greeks, as a proper background for their theories. It is therefore our purpose to publish, at some future date, a general history of economic conditions in Greece, which may serve as a companion to this volume.

Autorenporträt

Albert Augustus Trever carved a niche in classical economic history with his seminal work, 'A History of Greek Economic Thought'. A scholar of antiquity, Trever's meticulous analysis elucidated the evolution of economic concepts from the dawn of Western civilization. Although not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Trever's publication is regarded as a cornerstone for students and academics engaging with the economic principles embedded in classical literature and society. His literary style is characterized by thorough research, a clear expository voice, and a commitment to bridging the gap between ancient economies and modern economic theory. Through his work, Trever contributed to the comprehensive understanding of how economic thought has been influenced and shaped by the philosophers and socio-political landscapes of ancient Greece. His dedication to exploring and teaching about the intricate web of commerce, currency, and societal norms in historical contexts has been invaluable for those intrigued by the history of economic thought and its practical applications to the contemporary world.
