Adam Smith Quotes About Labour

• Ninguna sociedad puede ser próspera y feliz si la mayor parte de sus miembros son pobres y miserables. Además, es justo que aquellos que alimentan, visten y alojan a todo el pueblo, tengan una parte del producto de su propio trabajo que les permita a ellos mismos estar tolerablemente bien alimentados, vestidos y alojados.

• It is not the actual greatness of national wealth, but its continual increase, which occasions a rise in the wages of labour. It is not, accordingly, in the richest countries, but in the most thriving, or in those which are growing rich the fastest, that the wages of labour are highest. England is certainly, in the present times, a much richer country than any part of North America. The wages of labour, however, are much higher in North America than in any part of England.

• Among civilized and thriving nations, on the contrary, though a great number of people do no labor at all, many of whom consume the produce of ten times, frequently of a hundred times more labour than the greater part of those who work; yet the produce of the whole labour of the society is so great, that all are often abundantly supplied, and a workman, even of the lowest and poorest order, if he is frugal and industrious, may enjoy a greater share of the necessaries and conveniencies of life than it is possible for any savage to acquire.

• El valor de cualquier mercancía, por lo tanto, para la persona que la posee, y que no tiene la intención de usarla o consumirla ella misma, sino de intercambiarla por otras mercancías, es igual a la cantidad de trabajo que le permite comprar o comandar. El trabajo es, pues, la medida real del valor de cambio de todas las mercancías. El precio real de todo, lo que todo cuesta realmente al hombre que quiere adquirirlo, es el trabajo y la molestia de adquirirlo.

• Both ground- rents and the ordinary rent of land are a species of revenue which the owner, in many cases, enjoys without any care or attention of his own. The annual produce of the land and labour of the society, the real wealth and revenue of the great body of the people, might be the same after such a tax as before. Ground-rents, and the ordinary rent of land are, therefore, perhaps the species of revenue which can best bear to have a peculiar tax imposed upon them.
