1. The distinction that the reading 4.3 makes between owners and employees is that owners and employees are placed into 2 different categories. They both are different jobs when it comes to things. Owners have more responsibilities, they own things, they make the rules, they tell their employers what to do. While employed they have to follow instructions and do as they are told to get paid. Owners get paid for having their employees do the labor for their company. 
  2. Adam Smith’s quote on pg. 28 is “The division of labor occasions a proportionate increase of the productive powers of labor,” it shows his beliefs when it comes to labor.
  3. My thoughts of class is not an identity because people in the same social class can have different identities just because they are all in the same class doesn’t mean they are all the same. Everyone is different in their own ways. If everyone was the same there wouldn’t be as many things as different social class groups. So I agree that social class is not an identity
