The cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry and played a crucial role in the expansion of slavery in the United States.Rate this question:

The immediate aim of the Communist is the same as that of all the other proletarian (working class) parties: formation of the proletariat into a class, overthrow of the bourgeois supremacy, conquest of political power by the proletariat. . . . 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. In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition (get rid of )of private property. According to the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, what is one central theme of the communists?
-
Destruction of private property
-
Ownership of property for all people
-
Wealth determined by rebellion
-
Free market society
Correct Answer
A. Destruction of private propertyExplanation
According to the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, one central theme of the communists is the destruction of private property. The manifesto states that the distinguishing feature of communism is not the abolition of property generally, but specifically the abolition of bourgeois property. It argues that modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of a system based on class antagonisms and exploitation. Therefore, the theory of the communists can be summarized as the abolition of private property.Rate this question:

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?
-
Wealth should just be gold and silver
-
Wealth should be only be in houses and gold
-
Wealth should be gold, silver and houses, land, and other consumable goods (things you purchase)
-
Wealth should be just what the national military acquires through power and money
Correct Answer
A. 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 only be limited to gold and silver, but also include other assets such as houses, land, and consumable goods of all kinds. The argument of these people often focuses solely on gold and silver, implying that the objective of national industry and commerce is to increase these metals. However, Smith argues that wealth is not solely dependent on precious metals, but also encompasses various tangible assets and goods.Rate this question:
