Recent work has used methods from anthropology, sociology, and psychology to produce fundamental insights into classical Greece and its cultural legacy, as well as quantitative methods and formal theory to understand ancient Greek economic and political development. Normative considerations have also led to a richer understanding of Greek political thought and institutional innovations. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 672 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 June 2018\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough the history of engagement between social science and ancient Greek history is a long one, recent developments in economics, political science and sociology have opened fresh opportunities for fruitful interdisciplinary scholarship. The essays collected here demonstrate the potential of theories and methods drawn from the social sciences to shed new light on facets of Greek economic, political, and cultural history. And, conversely, they show that Greece may serve as an \"out of sample\" test for theories about institutions, organizations, associations, social thought, and social behavior that were formulated in reference to the contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1022g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 241 x 164 x 40 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474421775                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44096242090234,"sku":"9781474421775","price":92.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/5e328109d5f42e951e756a3c434cc13a.jpg?v=1629946231","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ancient-greek-history-and-contemporary-social-science","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
