520			_aIn this thought-provoking study of slavery in ancient Greece and Italy, Sir Moses Finley discusses how slave societies came into being and considers the moral, social, and economic underpin nings that allowed them to prosper. His comparison of ancient slave societies with their relatively modern counterparts in the New World opens a new perspective on the history of slavery, a perspective that transcends any particular historical era. Sir Moses' inquiry sheds light on the complex ways in which ideological interests affect historical interpretation.
