Summary

This introduction situates this book within scholarly debates over the ancient Roman economy and the economy of Palestine in particular. By articulating a methodological framework that draws on historical sociology and New Institutional Economics, it sets the foundation for a study of socioeconomic change that focuses on formal and informal institutions that produce and sustain inequalities of economic, political, and ideological power.
