For over thirty years I have discussed the ideas in this book with
Carl Lamberg-Karlovsky at Harvard’s Peabody Museum. Together, we
organized the series of five ISLET-ISCANEE colloquia that form the
basis for the economic history of the Bronze Age Near East that
forms the core of this book. Cornelia Wunsch has constantly drawn
my attention to the relevant literature and helped me avoid
anachronistic interpretations. She has played the major editorial role
as publisher of this book and the ISLET colloquia.
Steven Garfinkle has focused my attention on the role of
entrepreneurial trade and credit in its symbiosis with the palatial
economy. Marc Van De Mieroop has given steady advice and
perspective over the decades, and Baruch Levine was an early guide
and co-editor regarding Judaic economic history. All these readers
have been helpful in alerting me to the relevant bibliography.
David Graeber has been helpful in emphasizing the anthropological
setting for how debt has evolved and the diverse ways of treating
debtors who are unable to pay. Charles Goodhart has helped
emphasize the relevance of the history of debt jubilees to today’s
financial crisis. Dirk Bezemer also has co-written articles with me
drawing this linkage and applying it to modern economic theory and
statistics.
Lynn Yost has provided editorial help with early drafts of this book,
and Ashley Dayman has proofread the manuscript and found many
improvements.
My web manager, Karl Fitzgerald, has hosted ongoing radio
discussions on my interpretation of ancient Near Eastern history.
Early versions of some of this work also have appeared on Naked
Capitalism and Counterpunch.
Throughout the decades it has taken me to complete this book,
my wife Grace has been a constant supporter and provided many
types of help. I could not have completed it without her love and
encouragement.
