Synopsis
Xenophon's only true Socratic discourse, the Oeconomicus is a dialogue between Socrates and a gentleman-farmer on the art of household management and the art of farming as practiced on the gentleman's estate. It is generally acknowledged to be the oldest surviving work devoted to "economics," and it constitutes the classic statement of "economic" thought in ancient Greece.

About the Author
Leo Strauss (1899–1973) was one of the preeminent political philosophers of the twentieth century. He is the author of many books, among them The Political Philosophy of Hobbes, Natural Right and History,and Spinoza’s Critique of Religion, all published by the University of Chicago Press.
Review
"A sufficient understanding of Strauss' interpretation would necessitate a capacity for both the Socratic life and a careful reading of the Oeconomicus and Xenophon's other works. No contemporary scholar meets these requirements so well as Mr. Strauss." -- Harry Neumann, Journal of the History of Philosophy
