Bryan-Ward Perkins: A Real Economic Meltdown: The End of Roman Britain

Shallit Lecture given at BYU on March 12, 2013. Bryan Ward-Perkins examines what happened when the Roman Empire dissolved in the fifth century A.D., by examining the particular experience of the province of Britain. Here practically every sign of economic sophistication and prosperity rapidly disappeared in the early fifth century, plunging the province back into deep prehistory. This was an economic crisis whose depth and duration (at least 500 years) puts our present economic troubles in perspective - but it is also a crisis that has much to teach us, and which we should certainly not view with complacency.
