Description

The Economist by Xenophon is a timeless classical work that offers profound insights into household management, agriculture, and the ethical foundations of economic life. Written as a Socratic dialogue, the text presents a conversation between Socrates and Critobulus, exploring the meaning of wealth, the responsibilities of stewardship, and the principles of efficient management within the household and beyond. Far from a purely technical treatise, Xenophon’s work blends philosophy with practical wisdom, making it both intellectually engaging and pragmatically relevant.

Rooted in the traditions of Ancient Greek thought, The Economist reflects a holistic understanding of economics—one that encompasses moral discipline, leadership, and the cultivation of order and harmony. The dialogue extends into discussions on agriculture, gender roles within the household, and the virtues necessary for prosperity, offering readers a window into the social and cultural fabric of classical antiquity. Xenophon’s clear and methodical style ensures accessibility while preserving the depth of philosophical inquiry.

This edition brings renewed attention to a foundational text that continues to resonate in discussions of economics, management, and ethics. Ideal for students of philosophy, history, and economic thought, as well as general readers interested in classical literature, The Economist remains a compelling exploration of how discipline, knowledge, and ethical conduct shape both personal and societal prosperity.
