Verify Citation

Quoted text:

“No bound is set on riches for men.” He concluded that “Some people imagine that increase is a function of household management (oikonomos).” Some people likewise “are eager for life, but not for the good life; so, desire for life being unlimited, they desire also in unlimited amount what enables life to go on. These people turn all skills into skills of acquiring… [money], as though that were the end and everything had to serve that end.”

Can you help us verify the quotation and identify and add a citation (linked if possible) for Aristotle’s Politics here?
