Surplus and Default in Xenophon鈥檚 Business Economics

State University of Genoa, Via Balbi 4, 16126 Genova, Italy
ABSTRACT
Surplus and default are both as old as Man himself. Yet the first work which studies the phenomenon of deficit in a scientific way is Xenophon鈥檚 Oeconomicus (fourth century B.C.). Conversing with Critobulus, Socrates not only develops a technical nomenclature to denote defaults and losses, but also reveals what to do for transforming them into profits.
