    I have just finished the book, took it back to the library yesterday, it took me about a year to read! I don't think I've really retained much of the information, so thanks for uploading this series.

    I'm randomly here from reddit, since I'm reading the book I don't need this summarisation, however I have to compliment this well structured explanation. Great value to students who are learning about Smith from textbooks!

    This is the best book I've *never* technically read. You do a fantastic job of encapsulating every crucial detail of its essence. I would say it's a better book than the capital, because I do not agree with Marx on the concept of surplus value.

    You could save so much of people time by summerising many other books.
    I would suggest to put down a pdf or a note of the chapter too

    It's cool you're taking up both Das Kapital and The Wealth of Nations. Would be cool if you take up Mill's Principles of Political Economy. As well as David Ricardo's of the same name.

    Smith does not "make a point for laziness". Devising a machine for manual tasks is done for efficiency. As you said, workers understand the value of their labor, the more efficient they are, the greater the value of the labor.

    I purchased wombol.com and I am reading the book there, I think that this book requires many different attempts and angles at researching the text and analyzing what Adam smith meant by certain things.. Specifically because Adam wrote in an old timey style english.

    3:58 That's not flag nor shape of the map of England, it's a union flag and the shape represents the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom
    Not that is this is a very subject of the video but getting mixed up those two things is almost like saying Vienna belongs to Germany because they speak German.

  • @atarikamikazi
    @atarikamikazi 4 роки тому +3

    "The workers decide they can do more together, so they join in factories"??? More like, they are FORCED to because they can't afford capitalist goods without wage slavery. Not only that, but the workers don't voluntarily join in a factory, a capitalist owns the factory. I'm not attacking you guys, I love the videos, but if Adam Smith wrote that, it sounds an awful lot like a case for socialism. Well, now that I think about it... Adam was actually kinda anti-capitalist so...

      I admire your passion but we should not bag all rich people into the same category of thievery. I am not one, but I know some honest entrepreneurs.

    • @ltmund

      Because running the factory is itself, a further division of labour. This requires investment. Investment is a risk. That risk is rewarded with profit for success and loss for failure.

      Agree, it's totally possible to share the profits with the workers. But would they be willing to share any loss?
