Smith’s Three Natural Laws of Economics
• The law of self-interest—people work for their own good.
• The law of competition—forces people to make a better product.
• The law of supply and demand—enough goods will be produced at the lowest possible price to meet demand in a market economy.

Result of laissez-faire
• Capitalism- Factors of production privately owned while money is invested to make profit.
• Fueled the Industrial Revolution.• Philosophers like Smith opposed efforts to
help poor, minimum wage, and improved working conditions– Thought would upset the free market system

The counterargument: Socialism
• In opposition to laissez-faire, advocates thought government should intervene.
• Factors of production owned by the public and are for the welfare of all.
• Economy should be planned.– End poverty, promote equality

Marx cont.
• Marx believed that Capitalism would destroy itself and eventually government would wither and a classless society would remain.

equally, no private property

Who said it?
• “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.”
• “Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity.”
