4. Review
1) Classical Liberalism (Conservatism): Gov bad,
ppl should be free (personal-Locke + in
business-Smith)
John Locke’s Second Treatise, 1689
“No one ought to harm another in his life,
liberty, or possessions... to avoid this
state of war is one great reason of men's
putting themselves into society.

5. Review
1) Classical Liberalism (Conservatism): Gov bad,
ppl should be free (personal-Locke + in
business-Smith: “Laissez faire”
Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations, 1776
"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 self-interest... [Every individual]
intends only his own security, only his
own gain. And he is in this led by an
invisible hand to promote an end which
was no part of his intention. By pursuing
his own interest, he frequently promotes
that of society more effectually than when
he really intends to promote it."

6. Review
2) Adam Smith (1723): Philosophizes that if gov
leaves biz alone: supply (price up, supply up)
and demand (price up, demand down),
economy will be most efficient. (Laissez faire:
leave it alone), 1st

of capitalism/free market economies.

thinks that nothing is worth war
is much worse. The person who
has nothing for which he is
willing to fight, nothing which is
more important than his own
personal safety, is a miserable
creature and has no chance of
being free unless made and
kept so by the exertions of
better men than himself."

(history is class struggle) and communism
(Communist Manifesto-1848,
Das Kapital-1867)
Karl Marx and Frederick Engel’s
Communist Manifesto, 1848
"The history of all hitherto existing society
is the history of class struggles. Freeman
and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and
serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a
word, oppressor and oppressed…the
modern bourgeois society that has
sprouted from the ruins of feudal society,
has not done away with class antagonisms.
It has but established new classes, new
conditions of oppression."

(history is class struggle) and communism
(Communist Manifesto-1848,
Das Kapital-1867)
Karl Marx and Frederick Engel’s Das
Kapital, 1867
"Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like,
lives only by sucking living labor, and lives
the more, the more labor it sucks...
Capitalist production, therefore, develops
technology, and the combining together of
various processes into a social whole, only
by sapping the original sources of all wealth
— the soil and the labourer... Battle of
competition is fought by the cheapening of
commodities.."

24. Karl Marx
Socialist ideas had
been spreading
since the industrial
revolution started.
His Communist
Manifesto won’t really
have an effect until
after his death in 1883.

36. Leeds Woollen Workers Petition, 1786
We plead for the further continuance of these
machines: Men of common sense must know, that so
many machines in use, take the work from the hands
employed in Scribbling, - and who did that business
before machines were invented.
How are those men, thus thrown out of employ to
provide for their families; - and what are they to put their
children apprentice to, that the rising generation may
have something to keep them at work, in order that they
may not be like vagabonds strolling about in idleness?
Some say, Begin and learn some other business. -
Suppose we do; who will maintain our families, whilst we
undertake the arduous task; and when we have learned
it, another machine may arise, which may take away that
business also… Signed, in behalf of THOUSANDS
