Sanctity of Human Labor

Which is superior, labor or capital?

     “In that original state of things, which precedes both the appropriation of land and the accumulation of stock, the whole produce of labor belongs to the laborer.  He has neither landlord nor master to share with him.”

                                                                                      The Wealth of Nations, p.91

 

       “The property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable.”

                                                                                     The Wealth of Nations, p.168
