- Title
Aristotle on the Vices and Virtue of Wealth.
- Authors
Hadreas, Peter
- Abstract
Drawing primarily on the Nicomachean Ethics, Book IV, Chapter I disquisition of the virtue of Liberality, Aristotle's account of the vices of virtue of wealth is discussed in detail. Historical differences between Aristotle's post-Periclean and modern post-industrial ideas of ownership, finance and trade organizations are introduced so to evaluate the relevance of Aristotle's approach to current investigations in business ethics. It is concluded that the lasting value of Aristotle's approach lies in its capacity to incorporate wealth into a comprehensive ordering of human goods.
