Abstract

There is no economy without work and work is necessary for survival. If Adam Smith grants work an essential role in human life, his theory of labor value is not without ambiguity, between work as the only source of value and the cost of production. He seeks to distinguish between productive and unproductive labor. Finally, indirectly Adam Smith suggested most of the theories of value, thus testifying to the fruitfulness of his thought and analysis, but also to the many contradictions that peppered the "Wealth of Nations" in the course of his reading.
