Darius Duran · Answer 1

Answer is Option C: œconomia is natural and chrematistké is not.

Explanation:

Aristotle was one of the greatest thinkers who was admired for his knowledge in components of a market economy. He provided his analysis on human needs and means. He said that if the end products are useful to people then the means of production are also valuable. The more useful product is, higher is the value of means of production.

According to him, Chrematistics means getting wealth with moneymaking and exchange is unnatural. He classified Economics or household management as natural i. e: wealth-getting activity whose means is "truth" and "virtue' are natural.
