""A collaborative undertaking by five authors, this volume offers a nuanced reading of the ancient economy, and of society at large, presented as a global narrative charting the emergence of differential wealth alongside the expansion of commerce...This important work is sure to have a profound impact, especially for the archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, and economists who are its target audience."" B. A. Ault, University at Buffalo, SUNY
