The form of law which I propose would be as follows: In a state which is desirous of being saved from the greatest of all plagues-not faction, but rather distraction-there should exist among the citizens neither extreme poverty nor, again, excessive wealth, for both are productive of great evil . . . Now the legislator should determine what is to be the limit of poverty or of wealth. ✨ Plato (1872). Laws. Appendix: Lesser Hippias. First Alcibiades. Menexenus. Index of persons and places, p.269
