Example text
Investors in an industrial project had to be persuaded of its viability and the likelihood of it generating a sufficient return to make their investment worthwhile. The project had to earn a surplus having paid all its expenses including its employees’ wages. Wages were ever in contention both in practice and in the curious theories developed to justify them being kept at subsistence levels. Beyond these expense items the firm needed to earn a surplus for the entrepreneur to either retain or to invest in the firm’s future development.
Metal working, brick making and coal getting were already beginning to expand by the mid-eighteenth century, establishing small factories and workshops which were rapidly to grow in scale following the precedent set in textiles. Industrialization quickly extended beyond the subsistence industries related to food, shelter and clothing. Smith’s pin factory bore little resemblance to these industrial factories. It made little use of capital equipment and none of power-driven machinery. There was no requirement for the essential discipline of factory working, only some recognition of the mind-deadening effects of the simple repetitive tasks defined by the division of labour.
Such a salesman, being an amoral ‘economic man’, would naturally seek, by fair means or foul, to squeeze every ounce of advantage for himself out of every sale. The entrepreneur, on the other hand, would focus on a continuing relationship with customers and be concerned to demonstrate his worthiness of their trust. In pre-industrial textiles the entrepreneur might have been the dealer who started the process in motion and who also sold finished product, or the country manufacturer who was the one with direct contact with the spinners and weavers.
