Friends of Antiquity Sunday Series: 2026 RD Milns Memorial lecture
The study of ancient economic history is contentious, shaped by the social, intellectual and political debates of its time. Political passions have influenced economic history more profoundly than many other historical fields.
Join Emeritus Professor Alain Bresson from the University of Chicago as he explores how ancient economic history should be written in the 21st century in light of the economic, ecological and political crises facing our world today.
Professor Bresson will examine the challenges and opportunities of studying ancient economies, and how these histories relate to our rapidly changing world.
Cost: $10 per person
