light of death. There is no correlation between the word ‘desire’ as in the content of Genesis 3:16. This is the same focal point as in Genesis 4:17-19 but is the element of Genesis 3:16‚ here the judgment is on the woman and her descendants not on Adam. This is a figurative meaning in this verse not a desire like unto the woman. We have to look at Genesis 3:16 from this view point‚ which if it is meant to be the woman is to control and dominate the husband‚ than the text would no longer be

Adam Smith Adam Smith looked at economics differently than the mercantilist. The old view of economics‚ mercantilism‚ believed that wealth was measured in terms of the amount of gold and silver the nation stocked‚ importing goods from other countries would negatively impact the wealth of a country‚ trade only benefited the seller and not the buyer‚ and nations could only become richer by making other countries poorer.

markets and horizontal relationships that Adam Smith proposed were intended to afford all citizens the opportunity for economic growth and success. However‚ I firmly believe that our modern system of capitalism falls short of that envisioned by Adam Smith‚ especially regarding wages.
