Adam Smith was the father of capitalism, the theory that individuals should own the means of production and government should not become involved. It was because of his thinking that private business enterprises were allowed to develop unhindered with their sole motive being profit.

Smith was the author of <span>An Inquiry into the Causes of the Wealth of Nations. </span>He opposed the old theory of Mercantilism and suggested private ownership of enterprise instead. His argument was that government should only provide those services which could not be offered by private enterprise for profit, primarily national defense and public services such as police protection and water and sewer. He illustrated the operation of the factory system by describing a pin factory:

One man draws out the wire, another straights it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving the head….and the important business of making a pin in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations

While his messages mostly talked about stable health of prisoners and 'tolerable conditions' subsequent writings described a prison system that was hastily built with poor planning.

Overcrowding was rampant and of over 45,000 prisoners who lived on the 16 acres site, approx. 13,000 died.

Insurance why do you have to pay more per month instead of yearly
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Instead of paying the entire premium annually, the premium is divided by 12, and that amount is due each month. Even with monthly fee, paying a monthly installment is a better option for some people. It allows you to spread the cost of premium out over time as most people budget their money on monthly basis.
