A History of Greek Economic Thought
Trever, Albert Augustus
Economics -- Greece -- History; Thesis (Ph. D.)
Besides St. Hilaire and Zmavc, cited above, among those favorable are
Cossa, _Hist. des doctrines economiques_, p. 149; Blanqui, _op. cit._,
I, 49, 86. More reserved are Souchon, _op. cit._, p. 127; DuBois, _op.
cit._, p. 50; Haney, _op. cit._, pp. 47 f.; unfair interpretation,
Dühring, _op. cit._, pp. 20 f.
Footnote 522:
i. 9. 1257_a_6-9: ἑκάστου γὰρ κτήματος διττὴ ἡ χρῆσίς ἐστιν ἀμφότεραι
δὲ καθ᾽ αὑτὸ μὲν ἀλλ᾽ οὐχ ὁμοίως καθ᾽ αὑτό, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ μὲν οἰκεία ἡ δ᾽ οὐκ
οἰκεία τοῦ πράγματος οἱον ὑποδήματος ἥ τε ὑπόδεσις καὶ ἡ μεταβλητική.
Footnote 523:
_Wealth of Nations_, I, chap. iv.
Footnote 524:
Cf. Souchon, _op. cit._, p. 127; Haney, _op. cit._, p. 47.
Footnote 525:
Unless this is implied in κτήματος, 1257_a_6, as ἔστι γὰρ ἡ
μεταβλητικὴ πάντων (14 f.) might seem to indicate. Zmavc (_Archiv._,
etc., p. 410) points to 1253_b_33-39, on the automatic tripods of
Hephaestus, as implying it, but if so it was unintended by Aristotle.
But cf. _infra_, pp. 84 and 86, n. 4, where it is recognized.
Footnote 526:
1257_a_11; 5-19, but not specifically stated, and the term χρεία does
not occur here.
Footnote 527:
i. 7. 14: καὶ τὸ σπανιώτερον τοῦ ἀφθόνου, οἷον χρυσὸς σιδήρου
ἀχρηστότερος ὤν· ἄλλον δὲ τρόπον τε ἄφθονον τοῦ σπανίου, ὅτι ἡ χρῆσις
ὑπερέχει· τὸ γὰρ πολλάκις τοῦ ὀλιγάκις ὑπερέχει· ὅθεν λέγεται ἄριστον
μὲν ὕδωρ. Cf. Pind. _Ol._ i. 1 and Cope-Sandys ed. of Ar. _Rhet._ (I,
pp. 130 f., 1877).
Footnote 528:
_Ibid._
Footnote 529:
V, v. 8-14. 1133_a_5-1133_b_10 ff.
Footnote 530:
E.g., Stewart.
Footnote 531:
1133_a_5-12; 15 f.; 18; cf. _Eud. Eth._ vii. 10. 1243_b_28-38.
Footnote 532:
_N. Eth._ 1133_a_5-12, etc., 12 f.: οὐθὲν γὰρ κωλύει κρεῖττον εἶναι το
θατέρου ἔργον ἢ τὸ θατέρου. The emphasis seems to be on quality of
labor, as suggested by κρεῖττον. Cf. both ὅσον and οἷον (15) and p. 84
n. 3.
Footnote 533:
_Ibid._ 7-10; by joining means and extremes together, the
proportionate exchange is effected. Cf. also 1133_b_4 ff.; 1133_a_32
f. As observed by Ritchie (Palgrave’s _Dictionary_, art. “Aristotle”)
and H. Sewall (_op. cit._, p. 3, n. 2), the proportion is clearer to
moderns if we make our standard one hour of labor of each workman
instead of the men themselves.
Footnote 534:
Stewart (_Notes to N. Eth._ I, 449) suggests that this gives what the
economists call “natural value,” but that the market value oscillates
from this because of supply and demand.
Footnote 535:
1133_a_25-27; 1133_b_6 f. Cf. p. 34, n. 5, for Plato’s use of the
term.
Footnote 536:
_Op. cit._, pp. 47 f.
Footnote 537:
Cf. the discussion and notes above; also 1133_a_15 f., where both
elements seem to be recognized, though the meaning of the passage is
disputed. Cf. _infra_, p. 108, n. 3.
Footnote 538:
