A History of Greek Economic Thought
Trever, Albert Augustus
Economics -- Greece -- History; Thesis (Ph. D.)
_Econ._ ii. 10, περιουσίαν. Brants thinks (_Xen. Econ._, p. 13) that
the theory is implied in his principle of sparing (_Mem._ ii. 7).
Blanqui (_op. cit._, I, 81) emphasizes _Econ._ i. 7-15 as defining
productive and unproductive wealth, but this merely distinguishes
wealth from non-wealth, from the standpoint of consumption.
Footnote 416:
_Mem._ ii. 7. 11 f.
Footnote 417:
Thuc. i. 90. 2.
Footnote 418:
Cf. n. 1, although Liddell and Scott cite the passage as having the
meaning of “capital”; _Mem._ iii. 12. 4, where it need mean no more
than wealth; _Econ._ i. 1. 16; Dem. xxxvi. 54: πίστις ἀφορμὴ πασῶν
ἐστὶ μεγίστη πρὸς χρηματισμόν. Here πίστις is almost called capital.
Cf. p. 106, n. 3.
Footnote 419:
Dem. xxxvi. 11: καίτοι εἰ ἢν ἰδία τις ἀφορμὴ τουτῳῖ πρὸς τῇ τραπέζῃ;
xiv. 36; Lysias fr. 2. 2, p. 343, ed. Thalheim; _Rev._ iii. 9 and 12
and iv. 34 are also used of large financial undertakings; cf.
Harpocration’s definition; ὅταν τις ἀργύριον δῷ ἐνθήκην, ἀφορμὴ
καλεῖται ἰδίως παρὰ τοῖς Ἀττικοῖς; for the term in Ar. _Pol._ vi.
1320_a_35-1320_b_17 cf. _infra_. Cf. Isoc. _Areop._ 146_d_ for a
similar passage.
Footnote 420:
Dem. xxvii. 8 and 13.
Footnote 421:
Ar. _Rhet._ i. 5. 7.
Footnote 422:
Laughlin, ed., 1907, pp. 66 and 93.
Footnote 423:
Ar. _Pol._ 1254_a_1 ff.; cf. _infra_ on Aristotle (“Production”);
pseudo-Ar. _Econ._ ii. 1346_b_14.
Footnote 424:
Plato _Laws_ 742C; Dem. xxvii. 75.
Footnote 425:
Lycurg., p. 150, 22: τοὺς ἐράνους διενεγκεῖν; Dem. xxi. 184 f.; cf.
Dem. lix. 8 for the interesting figurative use, τὸν αὐτὸν ἔρανον
ἀποδοῦναι, “to pay him in his own coin”; also Lycurg., p. 168, 143.
Footnote 426:
_Mem._ iii. 9. 14 f.; cf. Brants, _Xen. Econ._, p. 10, for passages on
Xenophon’s attitude to labor.
Footnote 427:
_Mem._ ii 7. 7 f. Guiraud (_La Main-d’œuvre indust._, p. 46) thinks
that this passage is a good commentary on Pericles’ oration (Thuc.
ii). Both see in labor, not an inevitable evil, but a good. Guiraud
holds that this was the general attitude in Athens. Cf. this chapter,
pp. 36-50, on “Opinions des Grecs sur le travail.”
Footnote 428:
_Mem._ ii. 8. 1-5.
Footnote 429:
ii. 1. 20.
Footnote 430:
Cf. Döring, _Die Lehre des Socrates als soziales Reform-System_, pp.
387 ff.
Footnote 431:
_Rev._, especially i. 2 ff. and iv; _Econ._ v. 2; iii. 15; ii. 16;
Kautz, _op. cit._, p. 126. But cf., on the other hand, Xen. _Laced.
Pol._ on the restrictions in Sparta against acquisition of wealth by
trade and arts; cf. also (Xen.). _Rep. Ath._ ii. 11 ff.
Footnote 432:
_Rev._ iv. 51.
Footnote 433:
_Econ._ iv. 2; vi. 5-7; agriculture and war are not included.

Footnote 437:
Cf. p. 70.
