Marx vs Smith: who truly owns the wealth of nations?

← All debates · Talk to Caleb

KARL MARX vs ADAM SMITH go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.

KARL MARX

Your invisible hand, Mr. Smith, picks the worker's pocket while praising his freedom.

ADAM SMITH

And your revolution, Herr Marx, would empty every pocket and call the ruin equality.

KARL MARX

I call it justice: the value comes from labor, yet the laborer starves while the owner dines.

ADAM SMITH

Yet self-interest baked your bread this morning far better than any decree from a committee ever will.

See this debate come alive — the faces, the voices, the roast — on the channel.
