- Abstract
"The Economy of Classical Athens: Organization, Institutions and Society" by Emmanouil, Marios, L. Economou is a book that explores the rise and prosperity of ancient Athens during the classical period of democracy. It discusses the political and economic institutions that contributed to Athens' success and argues that many institutions of modern economies emerged in an early form in ancient Athens. The book covers topics such as economic growth, property rights, contracts, banking, the state budget, and public-private partnerships. A review of the book praises its detailed information on various aspects of Athenian society and its contribution to the study of the ancient economy, while also suggesting that it could have been better organized. The review raises questions about the motivations behind Athenian institutions and the reasons for the decline of Athens, encouraging further research in the field.
