“Spying on politics”
“Chachawan Chatsutechai”

All things are born and pass away! There is “capitalism” (Adam Smith), and then there is “socialism” (Karl Marx)?

“Capitalism” Born, lived and raised “Community” It has been around for a long time, but is gradually declining. “human hands” in “Destruction of capitalism“From creation “prejudice“Many in the community too.”A small group of people.” Rich above the sky while “Most people” Poor, he has nothing to eat, etc.

“Adam Smith “with “philosopher” Including the processthe view” There are not many creative people “Capitalism“I don't know. “Very dangerous” from “raw human nature” In the story “Love-Greed-Anger-Lost” Which escalated to “crazy” It has gone so far as to “starve” for the things you “must have”!

Oh!..when nature is raw “Humans” He walked up “This destination” actually “Adam Smith” with “philosopher“He who creates ideas”“free capitalist economy” Which has just been developed “Goal” But it is not developed “the human mind” Thus human society gradually declines and deteriorates.

So show that comprehensive development for “Free capitalism”that although it brings progress to society, it also creates “prejudice“Important dimensions widen the gap between the rich and the poor, causing”A small group of people.” Extremely rich, however “Most people” Until it gets more difficult, etc., from past to present to future.”“free capitalism” So it became “Evil capitalism.” Go to the trash!

Of course! It's about the system.CapitalismWhich “developed” Many stories have happened in “humane society” It has spread to every corner of the world, and there are two stories.very good.” with “Evil” both of them “is expected” And “unexpected” It's not hard to find stories from the past “Historical record” word..

This time… let's look at the details of the concept.Adam SmithAdditional information from the previous article.

book “National wealth“Which published in 1776 gave order.”Capitalism “Born and raised until it becomes the main form of the system.”International Economy” In allocating economic resources, this has continued for a long time until now.

there “Two stories” in “Adam Smith” He warned to be careful as it may create problems in building the economy. “Free capitalism”

The first story is the public's prejudices. It is the resistance in society who do not believe in market mechanisms and economic freedom that the government sector has no role in the economic system that will be able to make the economy grow and make the lives of most people better.

Do not believe the role of the government sector in the economy, and this will not be in the interest of the country's economic stability. And don't believe that economic freedom is the answer that will make people's lives better.
The second story: the power of interests It is the power of those who benefit from the role of the government or government intervention in the economic system, because if we shift to a free economic system, we enjoy freedom of competition and the government sector plays a lesser role in the economy. Those who receive these benefits will lose the benefits they had before.

Who will lose interest? We will do everything in our power to prevent the establishment of a free economic system. And free from government interference.
In fact, we cannot deny that both stories actually happened. Every country uses the capitalist economic system, which is a mechanism for allocating the country's economic resources.

The debate between market mechanisms and the role of the government sector in the economy can be seen around the world continuing to the present day. The beneficiaries of the government sector are opposed to competition and a free economy. Until it becomes part of the cycle of freedom and crises in the capitalist system. Including the problem of inequality that comes with the capitalist system. This is a result of society's lack of awareness of self-control. It makes society unhappy. This cannot be achieved“Adam Smith”We even hope that wealth will increase..

This is the immortality of the idea of ​​“Adam Smith,” which points to the problem. The solutions to create growth and wealth for the country are the reality of economic and social development. Which has been observed continuously for 247 years and will continue to exist in the future

Start with the words…What makes the productive capacity, skills, experience and decision-making of a more efficient workforce all come from the division of labor.“Enter the main “Work creates the world” You just have to divide the work!
“Another consequence follows. After the division of labor, it causes the division of business. Employment is to be more diversified. This is where diversification of business and employment will bring about the highest level of industrial progress in the country. This idea is correct… and it is still used today.

“The division of labor has created a lot of benefits. It does not result from human wisdom. Who knew that when it was done, it would bring wealth but the division of labor it is a gradual thing. It is born naturally from the characteristic of human character that there is always a tendency to trade, negotiate and exchange with each other.” Some all the time.

Mother ..”Adam Smith” Are you also a psychiatrist? He also talked about “gift” with ““commercial transportation” He said..

“..that every person has different natural talents. In fact it does not happen due to a predetermined nature. From childhood to adulthood, but it is the result of the division of labor.”

And “As for expanding the market on a larger scale, it will be seen that water transportation can help expand the market more than land transportation. Which we can observe from along the coast or along the river that usually gradually almost every type of industry has appeared. He continues in The growth is short-lived and will gradually spread to the interior of the country.
“When we pay for a product, the first price we have to pay is the price of labour. This can be clearly seen in the early days of the world. Wealth is not bought with gold or silver. It is bought with labour.”

This thing work “Adam Smith” The focus is on “Importance“It must be taken care of, not exploited.

“So we can see that increased demand for labor is due to increased income and capital in the country. Without increasing these two things it is certain that the demand for labor will not increase. When income increases and capital increases it can be said that national wealth is increased, so we can We conclude that the demand for labor will increase according to the nation's increasing wealth, and if there is no increase in national wealth, there is no way to increase the demand for labor.
“Adam Smith” Look at the working poor as follows: “…the dissatisfaction of poor workers with the food, clothing, and shelter they had enjoyed in the past. There is even a saying that people from the lowest class of society there is an increase in consumption of luxury goods. Events like this are certainly something that makes us more confident and it's not just that workers' compensation in monetary terms is higher than it was in the past. But it also includes actual workers' compensation. “Higher than in the past.” trulyAt Adam Smith Say!.. The more capitalists profit, the more wages they have to pay!

“..As the saying goes, it is better to play for nothing than to work for nothing..”! Really true, millions of% of capitalists make you work yourself to death. And the workers are not getting paid.. It is considered evil and very evil.

“When one person has more wealth than another person,” there will inevitably be inequality. “For example, when one person is rich, there will inevitably be at least 500 poor people.” This is the disproportionate number presented by “Adam Smith” in that era.

Inner part “digital age” The measure of inequality is different “Adam Smith“The Oxfam report indicates that over the past two years (2021-2022), the richest 1% in the world have been richer than everyone else. The rest together are almost double!!

Well… I really want to know if Adam Smith saw this Oxfam report. What will be the reaction??
