I hope this blogspot and legacy pages remain up.<br />I just dropped by to suggest another quote for the Quotations page. It is legit.<br /><br />Adam Smith<br />The labour and time of the poor is in civilized countries sacrificed to the maintaining of the rich in ease and luxury. The landlord is maintained in idleness and luxury by the labor of his tenants. The moneyed man is supported by his exactions from the industrious merchant and the needy who are obliged to support him in ease by a return for the use of his money. But every savage has the full enjoyment of the fruits of his own labours; there are no landlords, no usurers, no tax gatherers …. [T]he poor labourer … has all the inconveniences of the soil and season to struggle with, is continually exposed to the inclemency of the weather and the most severe labour at the same time. Thus he who as it were supports the whole frame of society and furnishes the means of the convenience and ease of all the rest is himself possessed of a very small share and is buried in obscurity. He bears on his shoulders the whole of mankind, and unable to sustain the weight of it is thrust down into the lowest parts of the earth from whence he supports the rest. In what manner then shall we account for the greatshare he and the lowest persons have of the conveniences of life? [Smith 1762 1766, pp. 340 41]<br /><br />From Michael Perelman's blog<br /><br />https://michaelperelman.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/the-ideological-fraud-of-adam-smith-beginning-with-the-pin-factory/<br /><br />Gavin Kennedy as well<br />https://econjwatch.org/articles/adam-smith-and-the-invisible-hand-from-metaphor-to-myth<br />The Artful Dodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402208724512184723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381613.post-35190823781384761682017-06-27T17:04:37.315-04:002017-06-27T17:04:37.315-04:00Welcome back, Mike!
