A History of Greek Economic Thought
iv. 10: χρυσίον ὅταν πολὺ παραφανῇ, αὐτὸ μὲν ἀτιμότερον γίγνεται, τὸ
δὲ ἀργύριον τιμιώτερον ποιεῖ.
Footnote 457:
iv. 5-7.
Footnote 458:
iv. 10.
Footnote 459:
iv, especially 7-9, 11; he has no word against them. _Lac. Pol._ vii shows that he favors their free use.
Footnote 460:
Brants (_Xen. Econ._, pp. 17 f.) says that he grasped both bases of exchange, division of labor, and natural diversity of products, but he bases it on _Rep. Ath._ ii. 12. 3.
Footnote 461:
_Rev._ iii., especially 5; _Hiero_ ix. 9; ἐμπόρια ὠφέλει πόλιν.
Footnote 462:
iii. 3. 4. 12 f.
Footnote 463:
iii. 4; v-vi.
Footnote 464:
vi. 1.
Footnote 465:
_Econ._ ii. 18: χρηματιστής; cf. iii, where Socrates teaches the art. Cf. above, p. 17, on the Sophists’ attitude.
Footnote 466:
_Rev._ iii. 4.
Footnote 467:
iii. 5.
Footnote 468:
iii. 14.
Footnote 469:
iv. 50.
Footnote 470:
_Rev._ vi. 1.
Footnote 471:
_Mem._ ii. 7. 12-14. Poehlmann’s attempt to turn the argument about, so as to favor the laborer, is strained (_op. cit._, I, 288), though the passage may be a sidelight on the economic conditions in early fourth-century Athens. Cf. _Mem._ ii. 8. 4-5, where, as Poehlmann (_op. cit._, I, 286 f.) points out, the free laborer was coming to feel himself to be on the same status with the slave.
Footnote 472:
Cf. e.g., his opposition to the free democracy of Athens, for evidence of which we do not need to depend upon the _Ath. Pol._
Footnote 473:
_Rev._ iv. 17; cf. p. 70; but p. 69 might point the other way.
Footnote 474:
_Mem._ iv. 4. 16; ἄνευ δὲ ὁμονοίας οὐτ᾽ ἂν πόλις εῦ πολιτευθείν οὐτ᾽ οἶκος καλῶς, οἰκηθείν.
Footnote 475:
_Econ._ xi. 9, 13.
Footnote 476:
Cf. how naïvely he takes for granted the feasibility of his schemes in the _Revenues_. Cf. the opening sentence of the work, “As are the governors [προστάται], so are the governments [πολιτείας]” cited by Poehlmann (_op. cit._, I, 299) as the illusion of socialism; but it might easily be expressed by a conservative. Plato (_Rep._ 544D) expresses a similar idea.
Footnote 477:
_Rev._ iii and iv.
Footnote 478:
iv. 33. The mines were already publicly owned, for the most part, but they were privately worked. Cf. Ardaillon, _Les Mines du Laurion dans l’antiquité_ (Paris, 1897).
Footnote 479:
iii. 14.
Footnote 480:
iv. 17.
Footnote 481:
iv.
Footnote 482:
iv. 49.
Footnote 483:
iii. 9 f.
Footnote 484:
iv. 30-32.
Footnote 485:
iv. 33; 49-52; vi. 1. Cf. the excellent résumé of the whole plan by Poehlmann (_op. cit._, I, 299 ff.), though he reads into it too much of the modern socialistic spirit; e.g., 306-8, he makes it an example of the so-called psychological necessity by which socialism develops out of capitalism.
Footnote 486:
Cf. especially iv. 14: τῆς μέντοι πόλεως πάνυ ἄξιον θαυμάσαι τὸ αἰσθανομένην πολλοὺς πλουτιζομένους ἕξ αὐτῆς ἰδιώτας μὴ μιμεῖσθαι τούτους.
