Abstract
James E. Alvey's A short history of ethics and economics: the Greeks. Cheltenham (UK): Edward Elgar, 2011, 184pp.
Highlights
In another divergence from Lowry, Alvey distinguishes two major traditions relating ethics and economics, both stemming from Aristotle
I think the key difference between these two interpretations of Aristotle is who should be a citizen of the state; or, how broadly should citizenship be defined
For Aristotle the best regime allows for every citizen to live a flourishing life
Summary
In another divergence from Lowry, Alvey distinguishes two major traditions relating ethics and economics, both stemming from Aristotle. I think the key difference between these two interpretations of Aristotle is who should be a citizen of the state; or, how broadly should citizenship be defined. For Aristotle the best regime allows for every citizen to live a flourishing life.
