Reger, Gary
Published by University of California Press, 1994
Hardcover in near fine condition with light foxing to page ends
Coatsworth’s measurements of the railroads’ contribution to Mexican national income during the Porfiriato confirm the indispensability of the railroad. No alternative road system could have allowed equivalent economic growth.
A modern statistical analysis of detailed inscriptions at the Temple of Apollo on Delos discovered during excavations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which provide a wealth of information about the business and economic enterprises of the island from 314 to 167 B.C. Reger examines patterns in the production and use of commodities and in rent fluctuations for real estate. Linking the island's economic history to the larger political scene, he offers a trenchant and overdue argument for an analysis of the Delian economy as a regional phenomenon, not--as others have seen it--as a center of international exchange.
