Routledge Economic Thought and Economic Life in Byzantium

Explore the social and economic history of the Byzantine Empire through the work of Angeliki Laiou (1941-2008). As a leading Byzantinist, Laiou provides a deep look into the connection between theory and practice within historical contexts. This volume is the third and final book in the Variorum Collected Studies Series to be published posthumously. This collection brings together twelve significant articles that represent her research legacy. The content includes two articles translated from Greek and German, along with one article published here for the very first time. This book serves as a vital resource for students and scholars interested in the economic structures and thought processes of the Byzantine era. By examining these collected studies, readers gain access to groundbreaking perspectives on how economic life functioned in this historical period.
