A History of Greek Economic Thought
PREFACE
The need of a reinterpretation of Greek economic theory in thelight of our modern humanitarian economy is presented in theintroduction to this work. If this volume may, in some degree,meet such a need, by awakening the classicist to the existence ofimportant phases of Greek thought with which he is too unfamiliar,and by reminding the economist of the many vital points of contactbetween Greek and modern economy, our labor will have beenamply repaid. There are doubtless errors both in citations andin judgment which will not escape the critic’s eye. We trust,however, that the work is, on the whole, a fair representation ofthe thought of the Greeks in this important field. In the courseof our study, we have naturally been obliged to make constantreference to the actual economic environment of the Greeks, asa proper background for their theories. It is therefore our purposeto publish, at some future date, a general history of economicconditions in Greece, which may serve as a companion to thisvolume.
We gladly take this opportunity to express our gratitude toProfessor Paul Shorey, of the University of Chicago, for his suggestionof the subject of this work, as also for his many helpfulcriticisms and suggestions during the course of its preparation.
