I was recently interviewed by the wonderful Megan Lewis of Digital Hammurabi, and our conversation has just gone live on YouTube! It was a fun and wide-ranging discussion about my new book in the Cambridge Elements series. WE talked about ancient temple societies, how institutions were organized to provide for the gods’ needs, and how to think about economics in ways that don’t make your eyes glaze over. Then we talked about how the economics of temple rituals get justified in mythological texts.

You can watch the video on Digital Hammurabi’s YouTube, and be sure to take a look at all their other great videos and interviews!

And if this piques your interest, you can find the book here.
