Economy and Entrepreneurship in the Classical period - Athens in the Period of Democracy
Zrinka Erent-Sunko
Sažetak
The article explores the economic behavior and operation of economic logic in Classical Athens which can easily be compared to modern states mostly because of the operation of its representative bodies and its democratic organization of government. Economy and entrepreneurship are often discussed today, but solutions to related problems are seldom found in history. With their surprising modernity, economic measures undertaken by state institutions (e.g. Solon’s reforms) and Xenophon’s plan of economic reform entailing alliance between the state and entrepreneurs in Athens, not only provide a historical bridge, but can also confirm the author’s hypothesis that economic laws were followed at the time, and that economic logic was operative in the actions of people, state and economy as a whole.
