The main thing is preventing corruption in men and state.

That is why the laws were what they were.

The Spartans had a Constitution, called Eunomia, translates to,
" good order, law ", Eunomia is one of the freedom goddesses.

Plato later, concerns himself with the same things, Justice and the Moral State.
Same concerns as the Spartans, corruption, of men and state.

Hesiod, one the first Western books ever written, The Works and Days,
concerns himself with this as well, corruption, where does freedom
come from, etc, he contrasts himself to his brother, the Founding Fathers
of the USA almost ripped off Hesiod verbatim on where freedom comes
from. They too were very schooled in the classics and concern themselves
with the corruption of man and the state, this is why you have a Republic,
Solon invented Republicanism, Solon is one of the greatest that ever lived,
and an ancestor of Plato. Hesiod, Solon, Plato, fit totally with what we discuss
here. Laws, The Republic, Justice, the Moral State, etc .

Above I have given an overview and sources, all of this is GSUS material.

It is not just the Spartans, Spartans chose to handle it in different ways.

They were extremists about things, but we do learn from them greatly.

Their famous two sayings are legendary, they go way back,
they are Dorian sayings. They did not heed their own advice.

Now I have a question, why were the Spartans always at war
with the Athenians if they cared not for wealth. ? ? ? They
controlled no one but their own land area, this too has a story,
corroborated by archeology, we will leave that for now.

The answer is they were constantly checking Athenian Empire.

They were the guarantors of free city states, even as Mercenaries.

They even ended up in Asia to control the Persians, they lost control
of that situation, one of the most famous books ever written,
Xenophon Anabasis, Egyptian Nocturnal has comment on it in past.

There is a lot more to what E N posted above. It is very interesting.
Wealth was banned.
