What is the primary purpose of the household, according to Aristotle. Do you think with the expansion of the market the household is shrinking as the market has expanded so much? Name one function that the household previously functioned which is now performed by the market.
[ Hint: For Aristotle there are two human spheres, the sphere of production of things needed for daily lives, the household or oikos, and the sphere of politics or polis, the place for political discussion, available only for Greek aristocratic men].
