Oikos Nomos is a collection of scholarly essays exploring the Greek concept of oikonomia and its meanings in ancient political and economic thought. Rather than treating the economy simply as a set of practices or a technical science, the volume shows how classical philosophers understood economic life as deeply intertwined with ethical and political concerns. Drawing on diverse theoretical perspectives and texts from Plato and Aristotle onwards, the book highlights how economic ideas were rooted in broader reflections on human action, justice, wealth, and the organization of society. The contributions collectively revisit these ancient themes to illuminate their ongoing philosophical relevance

Drawing on diverse theoretical perspectives and texts from Plato and Aristotle onwards, the book highlights how economic ideas were rooted in broader reflections on human action, justice, wealth, and the organization of society.
