Still less effect is noticeable in the sphere of economic reform. The philosophic teaching is of three Economic . . . Reform kinds conservative and healthy, progres- sive and chimerical, negative and stupid. Xenophon and Aristotle seem mainly content with the old system, under which the gentry used their wealth in the public interests ; although the former lays considerable stress on the decay of this ideal, which he seems to attri- bute to the rapacity of sycophants and mob-leaders, as well as... to the irresponsibility of the rich. 1 Plato leaves it to his educated rulers to maintain a state of moderate prosperity, mid-way between poverty and wealth, in the Ideal City ; at the same time he seeks to revolutionize the existing basis of society by refusing private property to the ruling class. 2 The Pythagorean doctrine of communism is well known.
