Note 742 — Chapter VI · ARISTOTLE
Reading edition
Pol. i. 8. 1256a10-12; but cf. N. Eth. i. 1. 1094a9: τέλος οἰκονομικῆς δὲ πλοῦτος; and Pol. iii. 4. 1277b24 f.: ἐπεὶ καὶ οἰκονομία ἑτέρα ἀνδρὸς καὶ γυναικός· τοῦ μὲν γὰρ κτᾶσθαι τῆς δὲ φυλάττειν ἔργον ἐστίν. An American economist would hardly make the latter distinction. Newman (op. cit., II, 166) thinks that in these two passages he states the actual condition, but cf. infra, where Aristotle admits a degree of acquisition in domestic economy.
