Xenophon?s only true Socratic discourse, the Oeconomicus, is a dialogue between Socrates and a gentleman-farmer on the art of household management and the art of farming as practiced on a gentleman?s estate. It is generally acknowledged to be the oldest surviving work devoted to economics,? and it constitutes the classic statement of economic? thought in ancient Greece. The dialogue examines the roles of husband and wife in the household and the division of labor between them, and considers the duties of the farm steward and the housekeeper. It discusses the goals of efficient management and the means for attaining these goals. | Xenophon's Socratic Discourse by Leo Strauss, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
