| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index In this ground-breaking analysis of the world's first private banks, Edward Cohen convincingly demonstrates the existence and functioning of a market economy in ancient Athens while revising our understanding of the society itself. Challenging the "primitivistic" view, in which bankers are merely pawnbrokers and money-changers, Cohen reveals that fourth-century Athenian bankers pursued sophisticated transactions. These dealings - although technologically far removed from modern procedures - were in financial essence identical with the lending and deposit-taking that separate true "banks" from other businesses. Cohen further explores how the Athenian banks facilitated tax and creditor avoidance among the wealthy, and how women and slaves played important roles in these family businesses - thereby gaining legal rights entirely unexpected in a society supposedly dominated by an elite of male citizens. Special emphasis is placed on the reflection of Athenian cognitive patterns in financial practices. Cohen shows how transactions were affected by the complementary opposites embedded in the very structure of Athenian language and thought. In turn, his analysis offers great insight into daily Athenian reality and cultural organization Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Chapter 1: Market Economy-Banking Reality; Chapter 2: A Methodological Alternative to the Misuse of Statistics; Chapter 3: Financial Context and Concepts; Chapter 4: Wives, Slaves, and the Athenian Banker; Chapter 5: Banking Operations: "Risk-Laden Revenues from Other People's Money'"; Chapter 6: The Banks' Role in the Economy; Works Cited; Index of Passages Cited; General Index |

Cohen Princeton, NJ Princeton University Press [2011] 1 Online-Ressource (307 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index In this ground-breaking analysis of the world's first private banks, Edward Cohen convincingly demonstrates the existence and functioning of a market economy in ancient Athens while revising our understanding of the society itself. Challenging the "primitivistic" view, in which bankers are merely pawnbrokers and money-changers, Cohen reveals that fourth-century Athenian bankers pursued sophisticated transactions. These dealings - although technologically far removed from modern procedures - were in financial essence identical with the lending and deposit-taking that separate true "banks" from other businesses. Cohen further explores how the Athenian banks facilitated tax and creditor avoidance among the wealthy, and how women and slaves played important roles in these family businesses - thereby gaining legal rights entirely unexpected in a society supposedly dominated by an elite of male citizens. Special emphasis is placed on the reflection of Athenian cognitive patterns in financial practices. Cohen shows how transactions were affected by the complementary opposites embedded in the very structure of Athenian language and thought. In turn, his analysis offers great insight into daily Athenian reality and cultural organization Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Chapter 1: Market Economy-Banking Reality; Chapter 2: A Methodological Alternative to the Misuse of Statistics; Chapter 3: Financial Context and Concepts; Chapter 4: Wives, Slaves, and the Athenian Banker; Chapter 5: Banking Operations: "Risk-Laden Revenues from Other People's Money'"; Chapter 6: The Banks' Role in the Economy; Works Cited; Index of Passages Cited; General Index 404 - 362 B.C. fast Geschichte 400 v.
