摘要

本文起初出係由觀看現代社會經濟的亂象後碰巧閱讀亞里司多芬尼斯的《接財神》一劇有感而發才寫下去的。財富分配的不均、外勞進的糾紛、援助交際的虛偽、宗教迷信的害人，還有戰亂的橫行等問題原來古代也曾經發生過，何以兩千餘年後依然沒有改進的跡象？亞里司多芬尼斯所提的改進方案效益如何？這些是本文要分析研討的重點所在。

After reading Aristophanes' Plutus, I find some problems that plague our modern society-like the uneven distribution of wealth, the controversy of importing foreign laborers, the hypocritical nature of prostitution, the beguiling trap of superstition, and the outbreak of war-were also prevalent in the ancient world. Why our world does not become better after more than 2000 years' evolution? And what about the efficiency of improvements proposed by Aristophanes? These are the main issues my article tries to analyze.
