Aristotle. Politics. 330 B.C. Many editions. 337 pp.
In his introduction to the 1920 Oxford edition (translated by Benjamin Jowett), H.W.C. Davis reminds us that this classic embodies "theories of perennial value, and refutations of fallacies which are always re-emerging." There is a brilliant answer to Plato's proposals to abolish private property and to communize wives and children.
BK: One of my favorite entries. I'm not sure who publishes the series "Many editions" but they certainly have been around for a while.
