Classical And Macedonia During The Greek Economic Thought

The ancient Greek civilization was a great civilization, and the ancient Greek had obtained much progress which should have in many areas, such as politics, philosophy, historic and so on. In these areas, the progress is so great that nowadays many people have to pay more attention on the ancient Greek civilization. Besides this, the ancient Greek had made these areas develop independently .But in the economic area, as for the latter, it is not the case. Although economics in ancient Greece did not develop independently, we can not deny that the ancient Greek had their own economic thought. After massive historical data analysis and textual research, we find that not only some outstanding people had concerned of this in their books but also many ordinary people had used their own economic thought in practice and thus created more economic thoughts which were the foundation of the former. Because the former had been discussed by many scholars, the ordinary people's economic thought is the main content of this article. Although the ordinary people in ancient Greece have not formed the system of their own economic thought, we can find some from literature material, non- literature material and economic policy which was about agriculture, handicraft industry, trade, economical management, wealth, cities plan, and social division of labor view and so on. Because of my ability, the first four parts was the main content I will discuss.
