How the Arabian Nights Inspired the American Dream, 1790-1935
Excellent survey that provides an overview - and some challenges to the various schools of thought surrounding the ancient Greek economy. The many levels and motivations for production and trade are covered in quite a bit of detail and I think the takeaway at the end of the book is compelling primarily because it highlights the limitation of coming to the subject with some sort of anachronistic view. The book is accessible yet still quite rich in detail and citation. The translation is very crisp.
