"Adam Smith oversimplifies the division of labour to strip all humanisation from the working class. he fails to recognise their need for enrichment and ultimately alienates them from their work. However, manufactures obviously functioned differently in 1776, as the public and private spheres continue to merge over the centuries, his writing seem to become more and more cruel." — Nov 08, 2026 02:01PM

“The overthrow of mother right was the world historical defeat of the female sex. The man took command in the home also; the woman was degraded and reduced to servitude; she became the slave of his lust and a mere instrument for the production of children. This degraded position of the woman, especially conspicuous among the Greeks of the heroic and still more of the classical age, has gradually been palliated and glossed over, and clothed in a milder form; in no sense has it been abolished.”
