The Roots of Western Finance: Power, Ethics, and Social Capital in the Ancient World
Thomas K. Park
The Roots of Western Finance takes an anthropological approach to origins of western finance and credit in ancient societies, covering a period from ancient Mesopotamia to the Islamic world in the eleventh century. The authors reveal that credit is not simply an economic transaction; it is a social relationship and a technology of power.
