===================== 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. Ross Emmett -------------------------------- 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. ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
