All property relations in the past have continually been subject to historical change consequent upon the change in historical conditions. . . . The distinguishing feature of Communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property. But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products, that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few.

The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith "Some of the best English writers upon commerce (trade) set out with observing, that the wealth of a country consists, not in its gold and silver only, but in its lands, houses, and consumable goods of all different kinds. In the course of their reasonings, however, the lands, houses, and consumable goods seem to slip out of their memory, and the strain of their argument frequently supposes that all wealth consists in gold and silver, and that to multiply those metals is the great object of national industry and commerce." According to Adam Smith, some people forget what in determining the wealth of a nation?
- A.
Wealth should just be gold and silver
- B.
Wealth should be only be in houses and gold
- C.
Wealth should be gold, silver and houses, land, and other consumable goods (things you purchase)
- D.
Wealth should be just what the national military acquires through power and money
Correct Answer
C. Wealth should be gold, silver and houses, land, and other consumable goods (things you purchase)Explanation
According to Adam Smith, some people forget that in determining the wealth of a nation, it should not just be limited to gold and silver. Instead, wealth should also include houses, land, and other consumable goods of different kinds. These writers initially acknowledge this broader definition of wealth but then tend to focus solely on gold and silver, assuming that multiplying these metals is the main objective of national industry and commerce. However, Smith argues that wealth should encompass a wider range of assets and goods.Rate this question:
