===================== HES POSTING =================== 
 
The following query recently came in to the HES "Ask the Professor"  
service. While I can provide my own comments on the questions, I thought  
I'd pose these questions to the list generally. I will compile the  
responses and send them to the original querier and to the list.

-------------------------------- 
I've been trying to find knowledgeable economists who can give  
me their opinions/information about Aristotle's seminal contributions 
to the field of economics. I've found several books on the topic but 
my project requires responses from field experts. As an outline 
only, responses can be to these questions: 
 
1) What do you think was Aristotle's main contribution to the 
development of economic thought? Why? 
2) How did his ideas differ from those of his predecessors and  
contemporaries specifically noting Plato, Xenophon or Hesiod? 
  
Any other valuable insights or important points about Aristotle  
would be greatly appreciated.
