Sir Moses Israel Finley, also known as M.I. Finley, was a British-American scholar, classical scholar, researcher, and writer born Moses Finkelstein on May 20, 1912. After facing persecution by the U.S. Senate's Internal Security Subcommittee in the 1950s, he emigrated to England, where he became a prominent classicist and ultimately Master of Darwin College, Cambridge. His most significant work, 'The Ancient Economy' (1973), argues that ancient economies were governed by status and civic ideology rather than rational economic considerations.
