On Revenues
Produced by John Bickers, and David Widger
"On Revenues" by Xenophon is a historical treatise written in the 4th century BC, examining the economic strategies that could alleviate poverty in Athens and improve its financial stability. The book discusses various sources of revenue, such as agriculture, mining, and trade, and proposes policies to enhance these areas, aiming to bolster the city's economy and foster better relations with its allies. In "On Revenues," Xenophon outlines several practical proposals for increasing Athens' wealth, emphasizing the potential of utilizing the natural resources of Attica, particularly its silver mines. He examines the benefits of improving the management of resident aliens and encourages constructing public facilities to attract more traders and visitors. Xenophon also suggests organizing state-operated ventures in the mining sector to ensure a steady supply of labor and resources. Ultimately, his recommendations center around the idea that a prosperous, self-sufficient Athens will reduce the injustices faced by its citizens and improve the city's relationships with its allies, fostering a more prosperous society overall.
