Question

Which of these does not describe how the Greek government regulated the economy of Ancient Greece?

A) It levied taxes on the wealthiest Greeks in times of need
B) it placed taxes on purchase of all goods
C) it placed reforms on the ownership of land
D) it collected a duty on the cargo of all ships that conducted trade with the country

Answer 1

The correct answer is: B) it placed taxes on purchase of all goods
Ancient Greece did not have a system for direct taxation, therefore, it cannot place tax over the purchase of all goods. At the time, tax was only collected from the wealthiest Greeks during times of need (usually war).
