About the Book

A disciple of Louis Robert, Leopold Migeotte is a specialist of various aspects of ancient Greek urban finances, in particular indebtedness. In this important new study, he offers an overview of this subject, focusing in particular on: the means of financial administration, the diversity of revenues, and the relative simplicity of spending. Migeotte demonstrates that the different Greek financial systems had much in common, especially their attachment to direct democracy and popular control. French description: Disciple de Louis Robert, Leopold Migeotte a d'abord etudie l'endettement des cites grecques, puis d'autres aspects de leurs finances. La synthese qu'il offre aujourd'hui est l'aboutissement des recherches qu'il a poursuivies dans ce domaine durant plusieurs decennies. Il comble ainsi un vide longtemps deplore par le monde savant et renouvelle profondement l'etude du sujet. Il en aborde tous les aspects: modalites de l'administration des finances, plus coherente et plus complexe qu'on ne l'a souvent pretendu; diversite des revenus, dont trois originalites etaient la richesse des recettes patrimoniales, la diversite de la taxation et l'engagement des citoyens riches; relative simplicite des types de depenses. Il pose les memes questions dans ses deux derniers chapitres, consacres a Athenes et a Delos. Mettant a profit les enseignements des philosophes grecs et surtout ceux de la documentation epigraphique, qui ne cesse de s'enrichir, il reexamine de vieux problemes et pose de nouvelles questions. Sa demarche repose constamment sur l'analyse attentive des temoignages anciens et non sur l'application de modeles empruntes a d'autres epoques ou a d'autres disciplines, car ces derniers ne suffisent pas, en raison de leur effet reducteur, a expliquer l'originalite des institutions grecques. A chaque etape, ses analyses debouchent sur des pages de synthese dans lesquelles il degage les caracteres marquants de ce qu'il appelle le systeme financier des cites. En effet, au-dela de leurs variantes locales et de leur evolution, les institutions financieres du monde grec avaient de nombreux traits communs, dont la mise en place s'est achevee a la periode classique et qui se sont maintenus durant des siecles sans changements notables. La gestion financiere des Grecs avait certes des faiblesses et des defauts, mais elle etait ancree dans l'exercice de la democratie directe, donc soumise en tout temps au controle populaire: quand il etait efficace, celui-ci servait de rempart contre l'envahissement de l'interet commun par des interets prives. Ce constat peut donner a reflechir aujourd'hui. Leopold Migeotte, aujourd'hui emerite, a ete professeur d'histoire ancienne a l'Universite de Laval, a Quebec, de 1966 a 1997. Il y a introduit l'histoire de la Grece ancienne et celle de l'epigraphie. Il est egalement Directeur d'etudes associe a l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, IVe section (Paris), membre correspondant de l'Institut Allemand d'Archeologie (Berlin) et membre de l'Academie des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines du Canada. Disciple de Louis Robert, il s'est specialise dans l'histoire economique et financiere des cites grecques. Il a publie plusieurs volumes et pres d'une centaine d'articles erudits et de vulgarisation.
