Quoted text:
The “natural” mode of acquisition, continued Aristotle, was to produce use values directly. “One form then of property-getting is, in accordance with nature, a part of household management” in the sense that the household (oikos) produced its own basic needs. Agricultural and pastoral economies had no need to trade to obtain their food. According to Aristotle, natural wealth was defined in terms of its use value, as “a collection of tools for use in the administration of a household or a state. … wealth and the acquisition of goods by nature, and belonging to household-management (oikonomos).”
