"""This volume is highly recommended for its dynamic and engaging elucidation of the political, social and moral dimensions informed ancient conceptions of poverty and wealth, and of how these conceptions evolved. It also provides a compelling reminder to the modern researcher of the need to approach ancient societies on their own terms, as far as possible shedding our own culturally determined notions."" - Bryn Mawr Classical Review ""This is a stimulating volume that shines light on the discourses of poverty in the ancient world writ large – and writ largely from above. It teaches us to embrace rather than resist the slippery nature of the category of poverty. It is recommended reading not only for literary scholars but also for macro-economic modellers, survey archaeologists, scholars of micro-history and anyone studying discourses or realities of poverty in the ancient world."" - The Classical Review"
