Adam Smith's Division of Labor
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing Smith's account of the origination of worker specialization, or division of labor. It was the worker who devised improvements to make his job easier and more productive. The goal of each small invention was not to contribute to the good of society or to propel the workman into a class of 'genius,' but rather to better individuals' living conditions. Produce more, earn more, purchase more goods to make life more comfortable and enjoyable. It is a common concept today, but new when Adam Smith proposed it in The Wealth of Nations.

Adam Smith's Theory of Value
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. This research paper delves into the conflict of Adam Smith's Theory of Value. When Adam Smith set forth his own Theory of Value it was vastly different from the idealistic view of his forebears. The term "value", in Smith's theory, corresponds largely to what is usually termed "use-value" - the value-in-use of some good. Within this paper we find that this treatment as well does not always advance a theory that is in all ways sound. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
