ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents some disturbing socio-economic concepts from antiquity. It discusses Aristotle's theory of value and his theory of exchange – starting from the metaphysical conceptions upon which they are based and culminating in the development of a system of equations that represent his theories. The book also presents Aristotle's theories to develop an Aristotelian Social Welfare Function that estimates reciprocity in a society. Justice for Aristotle does not wear blindfolds and does not enforce contracts, for the just person benefits his partner in need. The theorem of Plato and Aristotle that people differ in nature contradicts the Enlightenment doctrine that all are the same in nature and equal, a doctrine upon which modern social thought rests.
