Economics -- Greece -- History; Thesis (Ph. D.)
1131_b_27-32: ἡ διανομὴ ἔσται κατὰ τὸν λόγον τὸν αὐτὸν ὅνπερ ἔχουσι
πρὸς ἄλληλα τὰ εἰσενεχθέντα. Cf. _Mag. mor._ i. 33. 1193_b_36 ff.
Stewart (_op. cit._, I, 432) says that the expression ἡ τῶν κοινῶν
διανομή must mean more than distribution by some central authority,
for the most important form of it is the distribution of wealth,
operating under economic laws that regulate wages and profits.

οὖν ὅπως, ἂν εὐπορία γένοιτο χρόνιος, and 1267_b_3 ff. on the
insatiety of the masses. He believed that the state doles for mere
consumption aggravated the evil—a very sane doctrine which our city
