The Economist (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169244351)

The Economist is a book written by Xenophon, a Greek philosopher and historian, in the 4th century BC. The book is a practical guide on how to manage a household, including finances, agriculture, and the treatment of slaves. It is written in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and his friend Critobulus, who seeks advice on how to become a good economist. Xenophon provides practical advice on how to manage a household, including tips on how to select and train slaves, how to manage finances, and how to maintain a healthy and productive household. The book is considered a valuable source of information on ancient Greek society and economics, and is still studied today as a classic work on household management.Isch. Surely we must include the slave to amorous affection.[11] Your woeful lover[12] is incapable of being taught attention to anything beyond one single object.[13] No light task, I take it, to discover any hope or occupation sweeter to him than that which now employs him, his care for his beloved, nor, when the call for action comes, [14] will it be easy to invent worse punishment than that he now endures in separation from the object of his passion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
