Note 62 — Chapter II · ECONOMIC IDEAS BEFORE PLATO, AND REASONS FOR THE UNDEVELOPED CHARACTER OF GREEK ECONOMICS

“Die wirtschaftliche Entwickelung des Alterthums,” Kleine Schriften, 1910; cf. also Beloch, Zeitschr. f. Socialwiss., II, 21 ff.; “Griechische Geschichte,” ibid.; Poehlmann, Geschichte des antiken Socialismus und Kommunismus, I (2d ed., 1912, Geschichte der sozialen Frage und des Socialismus in der antiken Welt). Citations from Poehlmann throughout the book are to this work unless otherwise specified. He exaggerates the development of capitalism. Meyer and Beloch are also somewhat misleading in their use of the modern terms for Greek conditions. Francotte (L’Industrie dans la Grèce ancienne [1900]) is more conservative. For the older extreme conservative view, cf. the works of Rodbertus and Bücher. Cf. infra for further notice of the subject.
