Question

How did economies of Athens and Sparta differ from one another

Answer 1

Athens was dependent on trade, whilst Sparta was more dependent on agriculture and conquering other people.

Answer 2

Spartans tend to expand their economy through the use of conquering territories and people, and also through farming. Since most of them are warriors, they let slaves do the labor.

Athenians tend to expand their economy through the use of trading money and other goods. They rely heavily on trading, and most of their citizens do the labor.
