Better! I'd still say that you work journals could be more thorough, but focusing your energy elsewhere was probably a good investment. The summary of the sources should be separated. Each source should have it's own two or three sentences. Where is the group outline/summary?

The Roman Economy was not one that was very complex but still managed to function quite well despite its simplicity. Ancient Rome developed an agrarian slave based economy, which had the main focus of feeding its many citizens. In the beginning the majority of the citizens were farmers that ate most of the food that they grew, and then they gave their extra food to the government to get some tax breaks. However as this began to happen, the farmers began purchasing more land and selling more food. This then gave them more money and they no longer had to work in the fields as much. Then with all the farmers new found free time they began to cultivate other skills and began to develop new types of jobs that paid more and were easier to do. This turned into certain people understand how to make more money by doing little do nothing and the larger population not understanding this and becoming slaves or close to slaves. What also pushed this process along was the Roman’s need for conquest; they believed that the people they conquered would then be slaves. This ended up giving many people nothing to do and some having everything to do.
