Description: The Marxist classicist, Geoffrey Ernest Maurice de Ste. Croix, belongs to the venerable if less-populated tradition of Marxist economic minimalism in regard to the ancient world, a tradition that includes Karl Polanyi and Moses Finley. Ste. Croix's major contribution is to have mounted a sustained and largely persuasive argument for the importance of class in the economies of ancient Greece and Rome, an argument that has profound relevance for biblical analysis. In what follows, I provide a brief account of Ste. Croix's central argument before exploring three questions concerning his account: one concerns trade, which is profoundly useful, and the other two property and mode of production, where Ste. Croix is found wanting.
