Note 117 — Chapter III · PLATO
Reading edition
Cf. DuBois, Precis de l’histoire des doctrines économiques dans leurs rapports avec les faits et avec les institutions, pp. 45-47, comparing Plato and Aristotle on this point. Laws 743D and Plato’s attitude on agriculture (cf. infra) might seem to point the other way. Cf. infra, p. 41, nn. 7-10. Espinas (Revue des études Grecques, XXVII [1914], 247, n. 1) is extreme in calling him a physiocrat. The term would more nearly apply to Aristotle.
