The aim and the methodology of the book The key idea that triggered the present philosophical (classical) study is that besides the economic situation, the formation of the ancient Greek economy and society was also favoured by social and political conditions, which must be further explored. In this study, these socio-political conditions are examined through Max Weber’s theory on the ancient Greek society. In contrast to Marx, Weber believes that we have to identify some other factor, other than economy, if we are to explain the development of intellectual phenomena in the ancient Greek society and economy. The whole book is structured around this Weberian perspective. In Part A, Weber’s views on ancient Greece will be presented, as developed in his classic, though incomplete, Economy and Society (1921). The Weberian works that refer to Greek Antiquity will also be used additionally, in particular Agrarian Conditions in Antiquity [The Agrarian Sociology of Ancient Civilisations] (1909, 1924), The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1905) and General Economic Theory (1923). Part B comprises an analysis of Weber’s views regarding ancient and modern capitalism through the examination of his theory and the (Marxist and other) criticism it has received. In the Appendix Aristotle’s economics will be presented, as developed in his Politics in order to draw paradigms which prove the “anti-capitalist” character of the ancient Greek economy. The aim of the book is twofold: a) to acquaint non-experts with the generally unknown theory of Max Weber on ancient Greece and b) to serve to the future researchers as a philosophical-classical tool, which will help them understand and interpret the ancient Greek economy and society from a modern (Weberian) perspective. The basic Weberian question the author will try to answer is whether and to what extent was it possible for the Greeks to develop capitalist activities. A key book in the international bibliography that examines this question is Antiquity and Capitalism: Max Weber and the Sociological Foundations of Roman Civilisation (John R. Love, Routledge, 1991). As a sociologist and political scientist, John R. Love uses Max Weber to refute the position maintained by Marxists and more modern historians that capitalism as a interpretive model cannot be applied to Roman civilisation. Following Weber’s theory, he examines the social and political institutions, distinguishes ancient from modern capitalism and explains why ancient, unlike our modern, capitalism did not progress. However, his subject matter is Rome, not ancient Greece. The book at hand will seek, with Max Weber’s theory as an analytical tool, to study ancient Greek capitalism in contrast to its different Roman, medieval and modern forms. The basic Weberian question to be answered, running through the whole book, is the following: “Could capitalism have evolved in ancient Greece?”. Marxists are right in rejecting such a possibility. However, we will see that, following Max Weber’s theory, the interpretive model of capitalism could successfully be applied to ancient Greece. However, one has to cut it loose from the connotations of modern-day capitalism and analyse ancient Greek capitalism within the framework of the cultural, religious and political conditions of Antiquity. This is exactly the method that has been followed in the present study, in an effort to present in full and in a critical spirit Weber’s theory on ancient Greece.

The Applicability Of Modern Economics To Forms Of Capitalism In Antiquity written by Bertram Schefold and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017 with categories.
The applicability of modern economic conception to forms of capitalism in antiquity has been controversial at least since the debate between primitivists and modernists (the Bücher-Meyer-Controversy, revived by Finley, among others). The Debate and its present extensions are of interest to ancient historians, archaeologists, economic historians, sociologists and economists. I shall try to contribute by means of a critical assessment of Max Weber's texts on capitalism (not modern capitalism!) in antiquity and by using some textual evidence, primarily taken from Plato's Nomoi and Xenophon, in order to identify fundamental reasons why the core of modern neoclassical theory is at best of limited applicability. The great variety of model building in modern economics blurs the result, since one often can construct some variant of a model that seems fit to represent some aspects of a pre-modern formation. I shall argue, by contrast, that there are still good reasons to regard the economic rationality of the ancients as sufficiently different from ours to expect differences between mainstream economics and analytical or verbal approximations to the economics of antiquity in the description of economic processes.

In this groundbreaking work, Ellen Meiksins Wood rewrites the history of political theory. She traces the development of the Western tradition from classical antiquity through to the Middle Ages in the perspective of social history—a significant departure not only from the standard abstract history of ideas but also from other contextual methods. Treating canonical thinkers as passionately engaged human beings, Wood examines their ideas not simply in the context of political languages but as creative responses to the social relations and conflicts of their time and place. She identifies a distinctive relation between property and state in Western history and shows how the canon, while largely the work of members or clients of dominant classes, was shaped by complex interactions among proprietors, labourers and states. Western political theory, Wood argues, owes much of its vigour, and also many ambiguities, to these complex and often contradictory relations. From the Ancient Greek polis of Plato, Aristotle, Aeschylus and Sophocles, through the Roman Republic of Cicero and the Empire of St Paul and St Augustine, to the medieval world of Averroes, Thomas Aquinas and William of Ockham, Citizens to Lords offers a rich, dynamic exploration of thinkers and ideas that have indelibly stamped our modern world.

In The Capitalist World-Economy Immanuel Wallerstein focuses on the two central conflicts of capitalism, bourgeois versus proletarian and core versus periphery, in an attempt to describe both the cyclical rhythms and the secular transformations of capitalism, conceived as a singular world-system. The essays include discussions of the relationship of class and ethnonational consciousness, clarification of the meaning of transition from feudalism to capitalism, the utility of the concept of the semi peripheral state, and the relationship of socialist states to the capitalist world-economy. This book is the first in a three volume collection of Wallerstein's essays. The Politics of World-Economy (1984) elaborates on the role of states, the antisystemic movements and the civilizational project. Geopolitics and Geoculture (1991) analyses both the events leading up to the collapse of the Iron Curtain, and the subsequent process of perestroika in the light of Wallerstein's own interpretations, and the ways in which the renewed concern with culture is a product of the changing world-system.

In General Economic History Max Weber focuses on the industrial enterprise for the provision of everyday wants, oriented toward profitability by means of rational capital accounting, as the institutional foundation of modern Western capitalism. This type of enterprise integrates into one institutional complex a constellation of six factors, including: formally free labor; free market trade; appropriation of the physical means of production; rational commercial practices; rational production of technology; and calculable law adjudicated and administered by the state. General Economic History traces the historical development of each of these factors from their informal rational points of origin through the feudal era to their emergence as formal rational elements in the modern capitalist industrial enterprise. The chapters on the history of modern citizenship and the modern rational state are of special significance as otherwise unavailable resources for an integrated view of Weber's work.The new introduction by Ira J. Cohen is an original scholarly work of interest to all who study Max Weber's conception of modern Western capitalism.Theessay situates the institutional and cultural aspects of Weber's view of modern capitalism in the context of his overall vision of the emergence of formal rationality in the Western world. Both aspects of modern capitalism are shown to be defined by economic formal rationality, a type of orientation which is distinct from the legal formal rationality characteristic of Weber's conception of modern bureaucracy.
