Verkehrsökonomie bei Lukian: Die Überfahrt in den Hades
Christos Evangelinos
No 3/2020, IU Discussion Papers - Transport & Logistics from IU International University of Applied Sciences
Abstract:
This paper discusses some transport economic dimensions of Lucians "Dialogues of the Dead". Using the service "soul transportation to Hades" as an example, we discuss the transport economic notions revealed in these dialogues, and we draw the parallels to modern economic and political debates. It is shown, that Lucian was in position to anticipate some modern competition principles and regulatory approaches.
