Bilingual collection. Despised by the Aristotelians, who were ashamed of it and preferred to attribute it to a "Pseudo-Aristotle", misunderstood by economists, tempted to give birth to economic science in the Middle Ages, and underestimated by moralists who liked to sneer at its marital morality, the Economics is nevertheless, along with that of Xenophon, one of the rare ancient economic treatises that have come down to us. Recently exhumed from purgatory by a new generation of researchers and theoreticians, it appears much richer than we have long wanted to believe, testifying to an uncommon technical imagination and a true analytical scope. With this Aristotle, it is if not economic analysis, at least "economics as a moral and political science" that finds its birth certificate.
