Roberts, Keith (Roberts Proprietaries, Inc.)
Knowing and understanding Western business history helps clarify the nature of business throughout the world today, along with the public policies that determine much of its current operating environment. Yet rarely do business historians look further back than the European Middle Ages. As Keith Roberts describes in this book, business, markets, and money as we know them took shape in the ancient Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman civilizations. His detailed history underscores the parallels between early and modern business practice. With its broad consideration of business morality, the nature of wealth, the role of finance, and the development of public institutions that shaped business possibilities, Roberts pioneers an absorbing account of a long neglected history.
