About This Book

economicsclassical-philosophyphilosophypoliticshistoryliterature

Before 'economics' meant global markets, it was the ancient art of the home. Xenophon’s Oeconomicus reveals how a warrior-philosopher’s insights on leadership, order, and partnership can transform a private household into a masterpiece of virtue. Discover a world where marriage is a high-stakes cooperative venture and agriculture is the ultimate test of a noble soul.
