新古典经济学从理论上彻底否定了亚当·斯密有关生产劳动的学说。可是在实际上,亚当·斯密的生产劳动学说揭示了现代工业化经济发展的真正秘密。现代工业化经济的发展以物质产品生产的发展,特别是制造业的发展为基础,而这种发展又要求一种比较平等的社会收入和权利的分配。亚当·斯密的生产劳动学说实际上所起的作用,是论证这样一种经济发展的合理性。 Neoclassical economics completely denied Adam Smith’s theory of productive labor in theory. In fact, however, the production labor theory of Adam Smith reveals the real secret of the development of modern industrialized economy. The development of modern industrial economy is based on the development of the production of material products, especially the development of manufacturing industry, which in turn requires a more equal distribution of social income and rights. Adam Smith’s production labor theory actually plays the role of justifying such an economic development.
