Rathbone’s Economic Rationalism: Now “more saleable” than title suggests
Dominic Rathbone’s excellent study on economic sophistication in Roman Egypt is now in paperback.
This is great: it’s one of those studies that anyone interested in papyrology or economic history should really read and thoroughly digest. However, underscoring just how momentous an occasion this is, Cambridge University Press wrote this concerning the book:
• Growing interest in Roman Egypt • Valuable presentation of papyrus records • Much more saleable than is immediately suggested by the title
Indeed. The hardcover’s original list price was $140–the paperback is a mere $55.

I am a graduate student in Classical Studies in New York. The title encapsulates my outlook on life, and no doubt the blog’s content. I don’t have a particular focus–this is just an opportunity to take a break from life to think and dialog, though I’m sure my work and interests will inevitably be a major component.

Yes, a mere $55. Those European presses really know how to strain the pocketbook.
