Abstract

The 1890s saw the inauguration of what has become a "century's debate" in ancient history, of how to adequately characterise ancient economy. The roots of this debate go back to Rodbertus' treatment of the subject published in Hildebrands Jahrbücher in 1865-67. The present paper reviews this muchcited though hardly read effort and pays special attention to the philosophical and ideological context from which it emerged. Reading Rodbertus' treatment of the problem allows to uncover an explanatory potential (hidden behind long-standing clichés of OikenWirtschaft) that could be helpful in placing present modernist and antimodernist approaches in historical and philosophical perspective and thus contribute to the solution of present antagonisms.
