| Abstract | EnglishIt is often assumed that the Greeks had but a trivial and unscientific approach of the economic phenomena. This view is partly motivated by what the economist and historian of economic thought J.A. Schumpeter and the historian of ancient Greece M.I. Finley have considered the excessive preoccupation of ancient Greek thinkers for “pointless” domestic considerations on material issues, to the detriment of the scientific analysis of the economic phenomena. Against this interpretation, my claim is that the ancient Greek concern for these material aspects has to do with their concern for the conservation of the goods, an activity that, along with the acquisition and the proper use of the goods, is key to the ancient Greek economic art. My arguments are based on a close examination of the two operations that define this activity of conservation: the arrangement of the material belongings into the house and the polis, and the management of income and expenses francaisOn estime souvent que les Grecs avaient des phenomenes economiques une approche triviale et non scientifique. Ce point de vue est en partie motive par ce que l'economiste et historien de la pensee economique J.A. Schumpeter et l'historien de la Grece antique M.I. Finley considerent etre l'excessive preoccupation des penseurs grecs pour les « vaines » considerations domestiques de nature materielle, au detriment de l'analyse scientifique des phenomenes economiques. Contre une telle interpretation, l'hypothese presentee ici est que cette preoccupation repond au souci de la conservation des biens qui, avec leur acquisition et leur bon usage, est l'une des trois activites principales de l'art economique ou oikonomique. L'examen detaille des deux operations de conservation que sont le rangement et la gestion, en lien avec les divers aspects du Bien economique qui leur sont associes, permet de le montrer. |
