[ 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.

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.

Adam Smith: Theory Of Growth And International Trade
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Adam Smith, considered quite universally to be the father of contemporary economics (Rouse, 1995), grew up under the watchful eye of his widowed mother and attended college on a scholarship. Clearly immersed in the principles of philosophy and logic, he ultimately turned his talents toward economics where he cultivated his popular - if not greatly debated - economic theory of growth and international trade as being founded upon the division of labor, a reality Smith (1991) claims is integral to the quest for wealth and the growth of a society. The greatest turning point in his life is unarguably when he published Wealth of Nations, which inevitably cast him 'as the fountainhead of contemporary economic thought' (The Library of Economics and Liberty, 2002).
