Abstract

The paper discusses Chris Wickham’s volume (The Donkey and the Boat), placing it within the historiographical debate of the last decades on the economic history of the Mediterranean and central-northern Italy. It highlights the innovative elements in the English historian’s perspective and analyses his model for explaining growth and take-off, advocating future lines of research on the topic.
