SOCRATES: What is useful to us, then, is wealth, and what is useless tous is not wealth?
But how do you mean, Socrates? said Eryxias, interrupting. Do we notemploy in our intercourse with one another speech and violence (?) andvarious other things? These are useful and yet they are not wealth.
SOCRATES: Clearly we have not yet answered the question, What iswealth? That wealth must be useful, to be wealth at all, --thus much isacknowledged by every one. But what particular thing is wealth, if no...tall things? Let us pursue the argument in another way; and then we mayperhaps find what we are seeking. What is the use of wealth, and forwhat purpose has the possession of riches been invented, --in the sense, I mean, in which drugs have been discovered for the cure of disease?Perhaps in this way we may throw some light on the question. It appearsto be clear that whatever constitutes wealth must be useful, and thatwealth is one class of useful things; and now we have to enquire, Whatis the use of those useful things which constitute wealth?
