Michael McCormick of Harvard University will lead a seminar geared towards undergraduate students.
Thursday, October 28, 5:00-7:00pm - Intellectual Commons of Doheny Library
Can we feel the pulse of ancient economies? What is an ancient market and how do we get there, intellectually? How do we think about ancient and medieval markets? Did information economics play a role in the pre-modern world? What do underwater archaeology and the spectacular discoveries of ancient shipwrecks teach us about goods, merchants and markets on the move?
