According to Aristotle:
c.) œconomia is natural and chrematistké is not.
Aristotle distinguished between two economic activities: œconomia, which referred to the management of a household or community's resources in a natural, self-sufficient way and chrematistké, which pertained to the pursuit of wealth purely for the sake of accumulating money. He considered the former as natural and beneficial, while the latter, focused solely on monetary gain, as unnatural and not conducive to the well-being of society.
