19 Hopkins 1983 : xi–xii. This summary is quoted with approval by Scheidel, Morris and Saller
2007 : 4.
20 Hopkins 1983 : xiv–xx.
21 Hopkins 1983 : xx (emphasis added).
22 Hopkins 1983 : xxiii. Morris 1994b, which purports to be a survey of work about the econ-
omy of Ancient Greece since Finley’s The Ancient Economy, has little to say about the main
tenets of Finley’s work, and concentrates mainly on criticizing the use of literary evidence
and on summarizing recent work in field surveys. There is no discussion of Finley’s views
about markets.
23 Millett 2001 : 35. The views expressed in this essay build on his analysis of lending and bor-
rowing in Classical Athens in Millett 1991. For a critique, see Harris 1993b.
24 Millett 2001 : 35.
25 Millett 2001 : 24.
26 Millett 2001 : 35.
27 Millett 2001 : 37.
28 Reger 1994 : 49–50.
29 Gallant 1991 : 101: ‘In sum, the market seems to have played only a minor, peripheral role
in the domestic economy of most Greek peasants.’ Concerning Gallant’s analysis, Archibald
2005 : 13 rightly notes: ‘He presents no evidence to support his view that markets were of
exiguous importance.’
30 Cartledge 2002 : 26.
31 Cartledge 2002 : 27. In his eagerness to eliminate markets, Cartledge does not pause to con-
sider how the Athenians would have paid for imports without selling exports. Cartledge
appears to have overlooked Bresson 1987 , translated in this volume.
32 Cartledge 2002 : 27–8. For perceptive criticisms of Cartledge, see Goody 2006 : 40–2.
33 Horden and Purcell 2000 : 115. Like Cartledge, Horden and Purcell appear to have been
unaware of Bresson 1987 , which anticipated by more than a decade their remarks about
self-sufficiency.
34 Horden and Purcell 2000 : 205.
35 Horden and Purcell 2000 : 606.
36 Horden and Purcell 2000 : 391–400.
37 Horden and Purcell 2000 : 349.
38 The essays in W.V. Harris 2005 about Horden and Purcell 2000 do not address this serious
omission. Archibald 2013 notes that scholars have generally ignored the role of the market
but makes no mention of Harris 2002a, which demonstrates the link between increased
levels of specialization of labour and the growth of markets.
39 Morris 2005.
40 Manning and Morris 2005.
41 Ober 2010.
42 Scheidel, Morris and Saller 2007 : 9.
43 Scheidel, Morris and Saller 2007 : 10. This statement greatly underestimates the amount of
production for export. See the essays of Bresson, Panagou and Tzochev in this volume.
44 Scheidel, Morris and Saller 2007 : 10.
45 von Reden in Scheidel, Morris and Saller 2007 : 403. The chapter by Davies in this vol-
ume concerns only production and therefore does not deal with market exchange. Reger’s
chapter has relatively little to say about the nature and role of markets in the Hellenistic
period.
46 Davies 1998.
47 Bresson 2007 –8.
48 Archibald and Davies 2011 : 3. Few of the essays in this volume aside from those of Bresson,
Gabrielsen and von Reden devote much space to a discussion of markets. For instance,
the essay of Aperghis concerns tribute and taxation, that of Chaniotis the topic of war and
