{"product_id":"financial-crises-and-renewal-of-thomas-flichy-9781291097337","title":"Financial crises and renewal of empires","description":"Financial crises, which are currently perceived as the dark side of economic cycles, also represent one of the most obvious remedies to the decline of empires. Paradoxically, far-ranging economic crises have not necessarily accelerated the downfall of civilizations. The times of economic crises, whose apparent calamities weaken the Empires, can prove periods of renewal. In Hellenistic Greece and early modern Venice, the economic difficulties have not been sharp enough to favour the emergence of a new elite capable of slowing down the decline of the Empires. In Rome and Byzantium on the reverse, the spectacular financial crises have spawned the emergence of a new military elite. This new-born aristocracy, spared from nihilism thanks to its culture of realities and devoted to the protection of life, has skilfully exploited the difficulties generated by the crisis, thus enabling the renaissance of Empires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Flichy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1291097333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781291097337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.25w x 0.09d","brand":"Thomas Flichy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449489961215,"sku":"9781291097337","price":17.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_addbc404-57ef-4eb7-a413-05c1525b09ab.jpg?v=1777263619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/financial-crises-and-renewal-of-thomas-flichy-9781291097337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
