In: Ancient Economies in Comparative Perspective

Abstract

Every human being capable of action and self-consciousness and every institution, whatever their technological skills or knowledge, practice economics in that they apply their own peculiar economic thought in regard to the use of available means to gain desired ends. This peculiar economic thought is different in regard to the social actor engaging in it and in regard to the context of action. This economic thought can be substantiated in an economic theory or not, but it is always implied in a determined set of values and cultural norms. This economic thought is the only one that is always present and operative in economic history and as such can be the object of diachronic comparisons.
