This book is an excellent resource on the economic conditions of the Babylonian and Persian empires.
Michael Jursa helped me better understand the conditions of the exiled Jews from biblical times, even though that was not his intent. His extensive research goes beyond what one typically finds in historical writings.
His writing also tends to open the mind to the possibilities of that period.
