The Market

From the Roman market to digital currencies – how has the market evolved, and what might its future hold? This anthology explores the development of markets and their critical role in shaping the modern world, while also addressing how we might navigate a sustainable future.

In thought-provoking essays by international researchers, political leaders, and experts, the market is examined across three phases: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. From ancient Greece to medieval Europe, through technological change, consumer trends and geopolitical shifts like Reagan-era policies, this anthology traces how markets have taken shape – concluding with the challenges posed by authoritarianism and AI.
