Adam Smith
  • As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce.

  • No complaint... is more common than that of a scarcity of money.

  • Labour was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.

  • All money is a matter of belief.

  • Labor was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things.
