Cities and Citadels: An Urgent Update of Archaeological Engagement with Economic Theory
In the wake of recent global events, including the 2008 Great Recession and the COVID-19 Pandemic, economic thinking has undergone a significant reassessment. The world is now facing unprecedented challenges, and archaeologists must play a crucial role in understanding how we arrived at this point. While archaeology traditionally focuses on the distant past, it is essential to recognize its relevance in understanding our current situation.
This book delves into the challenging new theories proposed by scholars such as Thomas Piketty, Mariana Mazzucato, and David Graeber. It explores their significance for the study of human economies in ancient and prehistoric contexts. Drawing on case studies from the Neolithic to the Classical Era, spanning across the globe, the authors present a novel narrative of economic change that is relevant to the 21st century.
Cities and Citadels addresses the study of economics in all ancient societies and is suitable for researchers in archaeology, economics, economic history, and related disciplines. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on economic development and offers valuable insights into our past and present.
As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, it is clear that archaeology has a vital role to play in shaping our understanding of economic systems and their evolution. By engaging with the latest theoretical frameworks and applying them to historical data, archaeologists can contribute to a more informed and sustainable future.
