…of Eden and brought sin to man. At least in the Jewish-Christian tradition it says that. And to spy on this robbery of Adam, God himself, king, has to purge the crimes of men on the cross. Anyway, it's just an allegory that Vieira makes. I'm more…

…if you think about it, supply and demand, it's not an entirely different concept, or need not be. Now, a lot of Adam Smith's writings, he takes ideas directly from these guys. The pin factory, which we all remember, the example of division of labor,…

…God said, I will make your pains in childbearing very severe. With painful labour you will give birth to children. When God kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, he sentenced women to the labour of childbirth and men to physical labour. To men…
