It is a detailed manual on how to manage and increase revenue for the state, specifically for the city of Athens. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of revenue management. The first part discusses the importance of having a stable source of revenue and how to establish it. The second part deals with the management of existing revenue sources, including taxes, tariffs, and fines. The third and final part explores ways to increase revenue by expanding trade and commerce, encouraging immigration, and promoting agriculture. Throughout the book, Xenophon emphasizes the importance of fairness and honesty in revenue management, as well as the need to balance the interests of the state with those of its citizens. On Revenues is considered a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek political and economic thought, as well as for modern policymakers and economists.The above facts are, I think, conclusive. They encourage us not only to introduce as much human labour as possible into the mines, but to extend the scale of operations within, by increase of plant, etc., in full assurance that there is no danger either of the ore itself being exhausted or of silver becoming depreciated. And in advancing these views I am merely following a precedent set me by the state herself. So it seems to me, since the state permits any foreigner who desires it to undertake mining operations on a footing of equality[9] with her own citizens.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
