520 $a"The Roman Empire has long held pride of place in the collective memory of scholars, politicians, and the general public in the western world. In 'Money, Culture, and Well-Being in Rome's Economic Development, 0-275 CE', Daniel Hoyer offers a new approach to explain Rome's remarkable development. Hoyer surveys a broad selection of material to see how this diverse body of evidence can be reconciled to produce a single, coherent picture of the Roman economy. Engaging with social scientific and economic theory, Hoyer highlights key issues in economic history, placing the Roman Empire in its rightful place as a special - but not wholly unique - example of a successful preindustrial state."--Back cover.
