"The Economist" by Xenophon is a captivating conversation from ancient times. A philosophical chat unfolds between Socrates and Critobulus as they try to figure out how to run a home and property well. They kick things off by trying to define economy, what wealth really is, and what it takes to be a good manager, focusing on being organized, making the most of what you have, and using resources wisely. The talk covers everything from the jobs of men and women in a home to the importance of learning and training, and how good management can make your property more valuable. At its heart, it is an exploration of duty, helping each other out, and the deeper ideas behind everyday family life.

Summary
About the AuthorXenophon of Athens was a Greek military leader, philosopher, and historian. At the age of 30, he was elected as one of the leaders of the retreating Greek mercenaries, the Ten Thousand, who had been part of Cyrus's attempt to seize control of the Achaemenid Empire. As the military historian Theodore Ayrault Dodge wrote, "the centuries since have devised nothing to surpass the genius of this warrior". Xenophon established precedents for many logistical operations and was among the first to describe strategic flanking maneuvers and feints in combat.
