Economics and Public Finance

Did the ancient Greeks discover economics in the fifth or fourth century BCE, like they discovered so many other things? If there was one Greek writer of that time who did it, it would probably be Xenophon, a soldier, gentleman farmer, philosopher, and historian. But he did not quite make it. If you want to know what economics is and is not, this short book is a good start. And it will provide for good cocktail or dinner conversations!
