Abstract: After an introduction to the chronological and political parameters of the Akkadian period, this essay surveys agriculture, animal husbandry, industrial output, sources of wealth and markers of status, the importation of foreign prestige goods, and domestic and foreign commerce. Brief attention is given to the redistributive and tributary models for the Akkadian economy.
