Flip Buys skryf: Interessant wat die vader van Kapitalisme oor werknemer salarisse sé: “No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, cloath and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, cloathed and lodged. “Our merchants and master-manufacturers complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price of their goods”. “They say nothing concerning the bad effects of high profits!”. “They are silent with regard to the pernicious effects of their own gains”. “They complain only of those of other people”. “The liberal reward of labour … to complain of it, is to lament over the necessary effect and cause of the greatest public prosperity”. If the economy grow, the workers must also share in the fruits. “The demand for those who live by wages … naturally increases with the increase of national wealth, and cannot possibly increase without it”.
