Capitalism was meant to prevent wealth

Adam Smith saw the nobility with more money than the workers (craftsmen) so he came up with a system that pays based on hours put in

In a capitalist society everyone makes the same amount per hour and it’s just the one who works the most. There can also be no inheritance because that is profiting off someone else’s work

That is to say; no shit he hated land lords
