Following study analyses general features of ancient economic thought and economics. The main aim of the study is to point out that ancient economical lore has intrinsic ethical and normative dimensions inherited from moral philosophy, functioning as determinants of its main ideas and categories (performance, growth, institutions, etc.). Study is divided into three parts. The first part briefly focuses the history of ancient economic thought with its most influential authors and works. The second part analyses main ancient economic themes, concepts and theories in the works of Plato, Xenophon and Aristotle. The third part of the study summarizes the conclusions about ancient economics and its ethical and normative determinants in the works of modern historians of ancient economic thought from the so-called „Bücher-Meyer controversy“ to contemporary scholars.
