The Ancient Greeks and Aristotle were the first in the world to talk about the economy. The Austrian School of Economics characterizes Aristotle as the “Father of Economics.”

Furthermore, he pointed out that the theories, which were developed back in the 17th century for the capitalist system, are based on the work and analytic thinking of Aristotle.
