Economía Griega refers to the economic system and practices of ancient Greece, which developed from around the 8th century BC to the Roman conquest in the 2nd century BC. This economy was characterized by a mixture of agriculture, trade, and the use of currency. Ancient Greek society was largely agrarian, with most people engaged in farming, supplemented by sheep herding and fishing. Trade was crucial, both within the numerous city-states and with foreign lands, leading to the development of markets and a vibrant exchange of goods, including olive oil, wine, and pottery.
The emergence of coinage in the 7th century BC facilitated commerce, increasing trade efficiency and allowing for the accumulation of wealth. The economy was also influenced by the social structures of Greek city-states, including the roles of free citizens, slaves, and metics (foreign residents), which shaped labor dynamics and economic participation.
Local economies operated within the framework of broader regional economic networks, often centered around major cities like Athens and Corinth. Overall, the Economía Griega laid important foundations for later economic thought and practices, influencing trade, finance, and economic organization in subsequent civilizations.
