About the Author
“This book provides a lot of information about salaries, taxation, public spending, and exchange rates, among others, during Alexander the Great’s (356-323 B.C.) campaign in Asia. It is a very interesting read and an excellent source for economists, political scientists, policy makers, and historians. It is also a fascinating read for everyone who is interested in understanding one of the most important periods in human history. Dr. Kallianiotis, who is an expert both in public finance and in Greek history, is doing a great job in providing all the economic data and explaining how Alexander the Great spread, through his campaign, the Hellenic breakthroughs in science, philosophy, literature, medicine, and mathematics, among others, to most of the known world.” – <strong>Dr. Christos Pargianas, Associate Professor of Economics, University of Scranton, PA, USA</strong>
“Dr. Kallianiotis combines in a unique way different historians’ views in order to explain the Hellenic values. This book is an excellent source for economists, political leaders, policy makers, and historians as it addresses various aspects of the Alexander’s political history and economic policy with its surpluses. It also provides information on numismatics (currency, coins, and their values) which is important in facilitating price comparisons and exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar and the Greek drachma. Dr. Kallianiotis, who is a professor in finance, has done a superb job in providing us with the foundations and historic lessons from the Hellenic Studies in order to address today’s economic and social issues.” – <strong>Dr. Iordanis Petsas, Professor of Economics and Department Chair, Department of Economics and Finance, University of Scranton, PA, USA</strong>
