Say, Treatise, 194n; cf. 340: "The maxims of political economy are immutable; ere yet observed or discovered, they were operating in the way above described; the same course regularly producing the same effect; the wealth of Tyre and of Amsterdam originated in a common source. It is society that has been subject to change, in the progressive advancement of industry."

159. Cf. Collini, Winch, and Burrow, Noble Science, 4: "The present theoretical consensus of the discipline, or possibly some polemical version of what that consensus should be, is in effect taken as definitive, and the past is then reconstituted as a teleology leading up to and fully manifested in it. Past authors are inducted into the canon of the discipline as precursors or forebears...."

171. My interest in classical political economy followed from my dissatisfaction with Finley's approach to the ancient economy, rather than vice versa, though I am now happy to claim these writers retrospectively as intellectual forebears. Compare also the fluctuating reputation of M. I. Rostovtzeff, a twentieth-century "modernizer" of the ancient economy, currently receiving full-length biographical treatment (see B. D. Shaw in Journal of Roman Studies, 82 [1992], 216-28) and being cited approvingly by Italian archaeologists.
172. Cf. Turner, Greek Heritage, 8: "What actually constituted the primary and most striking feature of Victorian Hellenism wherever it appeared was the tyranny of the nineteenth-century European experience over that of Greek antiquity."
