In Oeconomicus, Xenophon delivers one of the earliest surviving texts on economics-not as a study of money, but as a guide to virtue in action. Through a thoughtful dialogue between Socrates and Ischomachus, the work outlines how personal discipline, ethical stewardship, and cooperative household roles contribute to prosperity, happiness, and civic harmony.
This modern translation preserves the clarity and structure of the original, while making its ancient insights feel surprisingly modern. From discussions on gender roles and agricultural efficiency to reflections on self-mastery, justice, and responsibility, Oeconomicus provides a blueprint for ethical leadership grounded in practical life.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
Whether you're interested in classical philosophy, household management, or the ethics of leadership, Oeconomicus offers practical wisdom rooted in ancient soil-and still blooming with relevance.
