Paper # 1 (Why does Aristotle deny that riches make the happiness of the whole city?) Aristotle does not specifically deny that riches make the happiness of the entire city but he does feel that riches alone will not provide happiness‚ at least in the Aristotelian sense of the word‚ to the entire city.
