“I find it remarkable that virtually all of the large difference in labor supply between France and the United States is due to differences in tax systems. I expected institutional constraints on the operation of labor markets and the nature of the unemployment benefit system to be more important. I was surprised that the welfare gain from reducing the intratemporal tax wedge is so large.” ImportantStatesDifferencesUnitedUnited StatesTaxesBenefitsGainsEconomicsLaborDuesExpectedFranceOperationsWelfareRemarkableUnemploymentReducingConstraintsWedgesTax SystemUnemployment Benefits Author:Edward C.

“Every individual necessarily labors to render the annual revenue of society as great as he can. He generally neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it.

“In raising the price of commodities, the rise of wages operates in the same manner as simple interest does in the accumulation of debt. Our merchants and master manufacturers complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price, and thereby lessening the sale of their goods, both at home and abroad.

They complain only of those of other people.” PeopleDoePhilosophyPoliticalInterestSimpleEffectsMastersGainsEconomicsRegardSilentProfitComplainingGoodsCommodityWagesCompoundsMerchantsPerniciousCompound Interest Author:Adam Smith
