What do archaeologists and ecological economists have in common?

Both disciplines know that GDP is problematic, and that we can learn more about human economies by measuring their material worlds

To bring these disciplines together, we are guest editing a collection for JAMT.

Cover image for edited volume 'Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic'. Depicts detail of a gilt bronze statue of a Roman woman. Pergola, Italy. c. 70-30 BCE.

Book description: In the Roman Republic, elite women were legally permitted to control substantial assets – and many demonstrably were in direct control of their wealth. They were also the mothers, wives and daughters of the politicians who built Rome's empire and, in a time of high mortality, could find themselves running households that did not contain adult men. This volume explores the political and social consequences of elite female wealth. It combines case studies of individual women, such as Licinia, wife of C. Gracchus, Mucia Tertia, Fulvia and Octavia Minor, with broader surveys of the institutional frameworks and social conventions that constrained and enabled women's wealth and its consequences. The book contributes to the recent upsurge of interest in re-evaluating the role of women in Republican Rome and will be invaluable for scholars and students alike.

Catherine Steel and I are thrilled to announce the publication of our edited volume 'Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic': www.cambridge.org/core/books/w...

Is #inequality the price of "development"?

Many economists have long been guided by the idea that as societies become more "developed" they become more unequal. Our new paper challenges this idea.
