Graphic Administration with Webmin
When you start administering a Linux system, one of the biggest challenges is learning exactly what to do, and how to do it. There simply are too many tools, settings, parameters, configuration files, dæmons and what have you to consider. Obviously, if you ever want to become a full-fledged sysadmin on your own, you have to learn everything. But, until you get to that point, you still need to get things done, and you would do well by installing and using Webmin, a Web-based, comprehensive administration tool for Linux systems.
Webmin runs on your server and presents a Web-based interface, allowing you to do all sorts of system administration tasks—from the very simple to the very complex ones—without ever touching a configuration file or restarting any process or dæmon on your own. As an aside, it isn't just any run-of-the-mill tool. If you mention Webmin at a Linux Users Group reunion, it's guaranteed to raise a lively argument—much akin to the "using closed graphics drivers" or "banning all non-open-source software from distributions" discussions on forums and chat channels.
For some people, the idea of using anything but the command line to manage a server is barely short of heretical, and they believe you should not even consider using Linux if you plan on employing such a tool. (A Linux user I know once said dismissively, "If you want to use graphic tools, use Windows.") However, for other people, any tool that helps them avoid mistakes or the need to memorize a lot of parameters is a welcome addition to their toolset.
Webmin won't let you avoid actually learning about Linux though. You can't merely start using it and change configuration settings without knowing perfectly well what you are doing. If you know what needs be done and how to do it, Webmin can save you from having to memorize lists of parameters or configuration files, and it will help you get things done quickly and safely. On the other hand, don't ever use Webmin as an experimentation tool. It's quite likely you could really mess things up.
Webmin runs not only on Linux, but on UNIX and FreeBSD as well. Here's a partial list of supported systems and distributions: Asianux, Caldera, Debian, FreeBSD, Gentoo (and Sabayon), HP-UX, IBM AIX, LinuxPPC, Lycoris, Mac OS X, Mandriva (and Mandrake and Conectiva), MEPIS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, PCLinuxOS, PlayStation Linux, Red Hat (and CentOS and Fedora), Scientific Linux, SCO OpenServer and UnixWare, Slackware, Sun Java Desktop System, Sun Solaris, SUSE and OpenSUSE Linux, Turbolinux, Ubuntu (and derivatives like Kubuntu or Xubuntu), Xandros, Yellow Dog Linux and Yoper Linux.
If your favorite distribution isn't included, some Webmin modules might not work, so be careful. If you are using a distribution derived from one that is on the list, it's a fair bet you won't have any problems, but don't say I didn't warn you.
By the way, why this state of affairs? The problem is a lack of standardization. Distributions use different locations for various configuration files, and if Webmin can't find them, it won't be able to function. This may change for the better over time, when (if) all distributions fully embrace the Linux Standard Base (LSB) and comply with the standards related to file placement. But, that certainly hasn't happened yet. To mention a simple example, I'm currently using OpenSUSE, and it uses /srv/www/htdocs as the root for Web sites. Most other distributions use /var/www/html. So, you can see that a configuration module might have serious problems finding Web files if it didn't know about this difference.
What do you need to run Webmin? Just a browser, Perl, a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for some functions and the root password. After you become familiar with Webmin, you'll be able to forget about ever editing configuration files (like all those in the /etc directory) or starting, stopping and reloading services. If you set up Webmin correctly, you even will be able to administer your server from a remote machine.
Webmin is available under the GPL, so you can get it without any problems. The latest version (as of the time of this writing) is 1.380, and it's being developed actively. The easiest way to install Webmin is with your favorite package manager. Even though I am an OpenSUSE user, I prefer Smart to YaST, so a simple smart install webmin command did the job for me. If you don't get the latest version this way, don't worry. You can fix that just by using Webmin itself; keep reading.
The other method of installation is to go to the download site, download the appropriate version for your system, and follow the instructions on the left side of the page. There are two options here. You can get the full package (with all available modules), or you can get the minimal edition and add the modules you require afterward, using Webmin's own update features.
After installing Webmin, you need to start a service. Working as root (use su), do chkconfig webmin on (to ensure that Webmin starts every time you turn on your machine. Then do /etc/init.d/webmin start to start it immediately. You're all set.
Using Webmin is simple. Open your favorite browser, and navigate to http://localhost:10000 (or the equivalent, http://127.0.0.1:10000), and you'll see Webmin's login page. Next, enter the user name and password for the system administrator (in many distributions, that would be root, but Ubuntu and others grant sysadmin rights to specific users instead), and click the Login button. You could check the Remember login permanently box, but that's a security risk, so I recommend not doing that.
If you want to save yourself some typing, save that address as a bookmark. For example, in Firefox, either press Ctrl-D or go to Bookmarks→Create new bookmark. Alternatively, for even less typing, create a desktop icon. If you use KDE, right-click on your desktop, select Create New→Link to Location (URL), enter the URL above, and click OK. (The process is similar if you use GNOME.) You can make it even snazzier by right-clicking on the newly created icon and changing its image to /usr/libexec/webmin/images/webmin.xpm (this path might be different for distributions other than OpenSUSE).
Webmin in OpenSuSE
I need to run webmin in many OpenSuSE servers and I've found your article about it here where you say:
Even though I am an OpenSUSE user, I prefer Smart to YaST, so a simple smart install webmin command did the job for me. If you don't get the latest version this way, don't worry
Well, I 've been visiting Webmin website and OpenSuSE does not seem to be one of the supported platforms, although a sort of SuSE versions are. I've looked for Webmin in OpenSuSE software search and nothing seems to be there too.
So, is Webmin in the official OpenSuSE repositories or perhaps you used a third party one?
I know, I can download latest OpenSuSE image and test it... and obviously I'll do if nobody can help me :-) Thanks in advance.
From now on you can surviv [url=http://www.tgsautomation.com]automation[/url]/

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

58 Mosley St, Manchester, England
I like it, but...
WELL. I was very excited when I heard about a new veggie restaurant opening in Manchester, and the 3 courses for £18 voucher made the decision quite easy - we visited the place within the first couple of weeks it opened.
We all ordered different items off the menu, there were mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese (which were just what it said - 4 mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese, slightly undercooked), a curry, the battered halloumi 'fish and chips', the filo parcel, the port + chocolate pudding, a sticky toffee pudding (meh), and some more (yep, three hungry girls!).
While the food was good and reasonably sized, I just wasn't massively impressed by it. It seems that 1847 (or DetoxRetox back then) is trying to position itself on the same level as Greens in West Didsbury, but it somehow feels miles away from it. Maybe I'm already too spoiled as a vegetarian (if that is possible...), but I've had veggie food with more attention to detail and a more consistent menu, at a much lower price, which wasn't trying to aim high. I'm sure the little bumps will be ironed out soon (if they haven't already), but I was just a little disappointed at my first visit.
217 Wilmslow Road, Rusholme, Manchester, England
I've been to Anand's a few times now and it's definitely one of my favourite places to get Asian food from. They have a selection of pakoras, samosas, battered vegetables, sweets and other deli items (full of deep fried goodness!) which are paid by weight, so you can easily get a big takeway box for under a fiver.
Anand's also has a eat-in menu with curries and some Indian specialties (my Indian mate who helped translating everything said they were very authentic), which was really good, too (and cheap, 3-4 pounds for a curry). Very hot for my taste though, but I normally don't eat very spicy food. It's not exactly a great place to eat in, as it is just like a take away, but we went with a large group and had quite a bit of fun there. It's a family business, so there's always kids running around and you never know who might serve you - but the staff are always very friendly and helpful.
I don't know how much of the food is vegan though.
448 Wilmslow Road, Withington, Manchester, England
Love it!
Oooh Fuel, great place. Definitely one of the nicest bars in South Manchester, good music, friendly staff, and comfy sofas. The food (served until 9pm) is simply great - my favourite is the potato/sweet potato wedges combo which comes with super tasty hummous, but the veggie breakfast, soups, and basically everything else are just as good. The prices are fair, too. Worth the trip if you're in the city centre (just get on the Magic Bus), as there's always something on in the evening - the quiz on Tuesdays is good fun!
Vendersgade 16, Nansengade, Copenhagen, Denmark
Great place!
I visited Kalaset to grab some food after a long day at the national gallery. There's several tables outside and the inside looks really nice, bright colours, vintage furniture and stereos on the walls. We ordered a vegan falafel burger and a vegetarian goats cheese sandwich, which were both very tasty and generously sized. When the food arrived, I had to grab my camera and take some pictures first - the presentation was amazing, like little pieces of art!
They don't have many mains to choose from (3 sandwiches, 3 burgers, 3 pasta dishes, and only one veggie option each) , but we were more than happy with the selection. The staff was busy, but very friendly and spoke perfect English. I'd definitely come back to try out the vegan brunch :)
Fabriksomradet 134, Copenhagen, Denmark
Good place for cheap food
I went to Morgenstedet in August 2010. We had some trouble finding it in Christiania, but after a bit of walking around just found it by accident - it's almost at the far end of the area.
We had a "super f*ing good greek gratin" (that was the title on the menu board!) with potatoes, beans and tomatoes, alongside some salads (carrot and quinoa) and a spinach soup. The bill came to around DK 150 for two people, including drinks, which is probably the cheapest it can get for a hot meal in Copenhagen!
I really enjoyed the food - the gratin and soup were a bit salty indeed, but also packed with fresh herbs and spices, which was very tasty. I'd definitely come back for lunch when I'm in the area, as it's good value for money, the staff were really friendly and it was nice to sit outside on the benches. I prefer a relaxed atmosphere and homecooked food that's maybe not 100% perfect to overpriced fine dining! :)
c/Carders, 46, Barcelona, Spain
Tasty & quick
We've just been to Mosquito Tapas for our dinner and really enjoyed it. The place is quite small and seemed very popular, so we were lucky to get a table.
The ordering process is easy - get the menu & a pencil, then tick the items you want to order and pass the slip back to the waitress (who was busy, but friendly). The food was served surprisingly fast and it was deeeelicious.
We ended up with aubergine & peanut sauce, steamed vegetable dumplings, wild mushrooms with lemon, spicy tofu and some rice (plus two non-veg dishes for my dining companion), and it was all tasty - the mushrooms were definitely a winner! I loved being able to choose from many small dishes, which was great for sharing.
The bill came to 30 Euros for food and soft drinks for 2 - they also have a fairly extensive beer list which isn't quite cheap, but looks exciting.
Nice little place and very veggie-friendly (I even think that the veg dishes we ordered are vegan), thumbs up.
Kannikestraede 19, Kobenhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark
Veggie buffet
I went to RizRaz in August 2010. The vegetarian buffet was really good, big selection and most of it tasted quite nice as well (falafel and hummous, the salads, some pasta salad, rice or bulgur salad, tomato pesto...). Some of it was a bit bland (tagine) or overcooked (veggie lasagne), but the tons of vegetables and salads on offer, as well as the different dips were great!
The place was not too busy when we went (Thursday evening), so there were no queues at the buffet, and the staff was quite friendly. It's not fine dining, but definitely a safe bet for good vegetarian food in the city centre, especially when you're very hungry :)
I can see that it might be difficult for vegans to find out what exactly is vegan and what not, but as a veggie who's ok with dairy I didn't have any problems.
Fritjof Nansens Plass 2, Oslo, Norway
Loved itñ
Really nice veggie-friendly place in Oslo - shame they're only open until around 5pm. The guy who worked there was super friendly and the food (I had a huge piece of quiche with salad and a really nice tahini dressing) was tasty and filling, and reasonably priced for Oslo (the most expensive country I've ever been to in terms of food!). I'd definitely come back :)
144 High St West, Glossop, Derbyshire, Glossop, England
Yes please!
Forget the meat substitute dishes (boring...) and go straight for the chickpea curry and the parsnip chips. And the chips. Oh and the pilau rice. I kept talking about the pilau rice for days. Absolute winner, dead cheap (most dishes were around 2-4 pounds), huge selection, nice atmosphere and really friendly staff. It was quite busy when we went (Sunday evening), but we managed to squeeze onto a small table anyway.
Definitely worth the trip to Glossop, or combine it with a hike up Kinder Scout which is absolutely glorious!

Who knew Prince was a fan of Fox's "New Girl."
The purple one is set to make his first-ever appearance in a television sitcom, and has chosen the post-Super Borl episode of "New Girl" for this momentous occasion.
According to E! News, Prince will play himself and have some sort of involvement with Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and Nick (Jake Johnson).
Prince's acting resume had previously included feature films only: "Purple Rain," "Under the Cherry Moon" and "Graffiti Bridge."
Fox announced in October that "New Girl" and the Golden Globe-nominated "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" will follow the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, 2014.

As prepared for delivery:
For decades, it has been commonly said that the Chinese word for crisis is made of two
characters, one meaning danger and the other meaning opportunity. Many experts on the Chinese language have pointed out that this is an overly simplistic interpretation of the word. I think the popularity of the axiom that crisis brings opportunity persists because there is a large dose of truth in it.
Last spring a crisis unfolded at the General Services Administration (GSA) when a report of the GSA Inspector General detailed the reckless, wasteful -- and in some instances, illegal -- spending of some employees of GSA's Public Building Service at a lavish conference. These employees used public resources to reward themselves with catered parties, a team-building exercise that involved building bicycles, and conference souvenirs.
Unfortunately, this particular conference was not an isolated instance of bad judgment.
In looking into GSA's spending practices, Congress learned of other wasteful spending --
extravagant travel, misuse of government charge cards, questionable employee awards
programs, and another conference where taxpayers paid for GSA employees to beat on
drums. These are just a few examples.
These scandals all shook the trust of Congress in GSA -- the very agency whose primary
purpose is to make our federal government more efficient and more frugal in spending
taxpayer dollars.
In taking over as Acting Director of GSA last April, Dan Tangherlini understood that this
moment of crisis afforded an opportunity to make GSA a better agency. To his credit, he did not approach the job with a view to do the minimal amount necessary to sweep the scandal under the rug. Rather, he undertook what he called a "Top to Bottom' review of the whole agency.
Mr. Tangherlini has put in stronger controls over spending within GSA. He has
consolidated activities related to financial management, human resources, information
technology, acquisition, and other administrative functions. These changes should make
GSA a leaner agency that is better focused on its core functions of helping other agencies make smart choices in managing their property and acquiring goods and services.
Longstanding challenges with both these areas -- property management and procurement -- combined with the current fiscal crisis, increase the urgency of making sure that GSA is the go-to place for agencies to be able to do more with less. GSA can and should be at the center of our government's efforts to resolve our major management challenges.
The management of real property has been on the Government Accountability Office's High Risk list of troubled programs for a decade. The government has tens of thousands of properties that are either no longer needed, or are only partially used. But we also lack accurate, comprehensive data that would enable better decisions about how agencies use their property. The government also relies too much on costly leases when the cheaper option, over the long run, would be to own property. Additionally, the federal government has a backlog of billions of dollars in needed repairs and maintenance -- which, if unaddressed, will increase the cost of maintaining the property in the long run.
In the area of acquisition, GSA plays an important role, with about 10 percent -- roughly $50 billion -- of total federal contract spending flowing through GSA's contracts and other services. But there is much room for improvement. For example, the Government Accountability Office has done several studies showing that there is enormous potential for the government to save billions of dollars each year through "strategically sourcing' commonly-used goods and services through governmentwide contracts that fully leverage the buying power of the federal government.
GSA deserves a leader who understands the complexity of these management challenges and who can work well with the heads of other agencies to help them meet their needs. I think they have such a leader now in Dan Tangherlini and that he deserves confirmation by the Senate.
Mr. Tangherlini's service as Acting Administrator of GSA, in and of itself, shows he is the logical choice to be confirmed as Administrator. But he also brings a wealth of other experience in public sector administration. He served for six years at the Office of Management and Budget early in his career and has a strong understanding of the budget process as well as program planning and financial management. He then served a year in the Policy Office of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and went on to a string of impressive jobs at the local level: Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, Interim General Manager of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, Director of the District of Columbia Department of Transportation, and finally, City Administrator and Deputy Mayor of the District of Columbia.
In 2009, President Obama nominated, and the Senate confirmed, Mr. Tangherlini as the Assistant Secretary for Management at the Treasury Department, where he served until being named as Acting Administrator of GSA.
Mr. Tangherlini's confirmation will also bring badly needed stability to the helm of GSA. As my colleagues know, I am a firm believer in the power of leadership. Leadership is an important and often undervalued asset that can determine whether or not an organization of any size or scale can effectively accomplish its mission. Leadership is
particularly important to turning around struggling organizations and steering through a crisis.
One of GSA's main problems over the last decade has been a lack of stable leadership, which is unfortunately a problem throughout the executive branch. GSA has had eight different leaders over the last eight years -- all but two of them in an "Acting" capacity. The last two confirmed leaders of GSA, unfortunately, each resigned following scandals.
Mr. Tangherlini has a well-deserved reputation of being someone who knows how to get a job done, and who never stops looking for ways to do the job better. That's precisely the fit we need for GSA.
I look forward to Mr. Tangherlini's testimony today and the opportunity to discuss with him his priorities for GSA.

Although the battle between drone owners and the FAA continues in terms of laws and regulations, it appears that progress is being made. According to a Bloomberg report, the FAA is looking to expedite the handing out of permits for owners of "low-risk" drones. Commercial flights of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) will be allowed by permitted parties "so long as the devices propose no security risk and are under 55 pounds in weight." The FAA hopes to have this ruling officially take effect by November, and is also looking to allow the use of even smaller drones before then. Meanwhile, drones are being used by various industries including photography and film making. A recent article in the New York Times focused on drones used for wedding photography.

Read an Excerpt
Adam Smith's ideas fit perfectly with this new democratic, individualistic idea. To him, the "wealth" of a nation wasn't determined by the size of its monarch's treasure or the amount of gold and silver in its vaults, nor by the spiritual worthiness of its people in the eyes of the Church. A nation's wealth was to be judged by the total value of all the goods its people produced for all its people to consume. To a reader at the start of the twenty-first century, this assertion may seem obvious. At the time he argued it, it was a revolutionary democratic vision.
Smith was born in 1723, in the small Scottish port of Kirkcaldy, which sits across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh. His father was a collector of customs--a job that literally embodied the old mercantilist philosophy that Smith would later argue against. He was educated at the University of Glasgow, whose professors passionately debated the new concepts of individualism and ethics (one of his teachers, Francis Hutcheson, was prosecuted by the Scottish Presbyterian church for spreading the "false and dangerous" doctrines that moral goodness could be obtained by promoting happiness in others and that it was possible to know good and evil without knowing God), and then at Oxford, whose professors didn't debate or teach much of anything. In fact, the lassitude of Oxford's dons prompted Smith to suggest, in The Wealth of Nations, that professors be paid according to the number of students they attract, thereby motivating them to take a more lively interest in teaching--one of Smith's few suggestions with which today's tenured professors of economics generally disagree.
In 1748 Smith returned to the University ofGlasgow, first as a professor of logic and then of moral philosophy, filling Francis Hutcheson's chair. There he published The Theory of Moral Sentiments in 1759, which brought him instant fame. In it, Smith asked how a normal self-interested person is capable of making moral judgments, when the essence of morality is selflessness. It was a question that troubled many of the new thinkers of the eighteenth century, who had liberated themselves from both theology and codes of aristocratic or chilvaric virtue. Smith's answer foreshadowed Sigmund Freud's superego: People possess within themselves an "impartial spectator" who advises them about moral behavior.
Smith resigned his professorship in 1764 to become tutor to the son of the late Duke of Buccleuch. The boy's mother, Countess of Dalkeith, had just remarried Charles Townshend, one of Smith's many admirers, who later became Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, and was responsible for imposing the taxes on the American colonies that prompted some Bostonians to throw large quantities of tea into Boston Harbor. For the next two years, Smith traveled throughout the Continent, beginning work on the book that was to become The Wealth of Nations. He visited Voltaire in Geneva, and in Paris met François Quesnay, a physician in the court of Louis XV who had devised a chart of the economy--a "tableau economique" he called it--showing the circulation of products and money in an economy analogous to the flow of blood through a body. Quesnay and his fellow Physiocrats believed that wealth came from a nation's production that enlarged the flow rather than from its accumulation of gold and silver, as the prevailing mercantilists believed, and that governments should therefore remove all impediments to the flow of money and goods in order to increase production.
Smith took these notions to heart, although he didn't agree with everything the Physiocrats propounded (such as their view that agricultural production was the only true source of wealth). Returning to Glasgow in 1766, he spent the better part of the following decade working out his theories. Occasionally he'd travel to London to discuss them with luminaries such as the philosopher Edmund Burke, historian Edward Gibbon, Benjamin Franklin (visiting from America), and the remarkable personalities Samuel Johnson and James Boswell. Smith's book finally appeared on March 9, 1776, in two volumes, and went through several subsequent editions. It was well received, although not an immediate sensation. Smith spent his remaining years back in Edinburgh as commissioner of customs, the same kind of mercantilist sinecure his father had held, and died in July 1790, at the age of sixty-seven.
The Wealth of Nations is resolutely about human beings--their capacities and incentives to be productive, their overall well-being, and the connection between productivity and well-being. In the very first sentence of his Introduction, Smith takes aim at the mercantilists and declares, "The annual labour of every nation is the fund which originally supplies it with all the necessaries and conveniences of life. . . ." And two paragraphs later he states that a nation's wealth grows because of "the skill, dexterity, and judgment with which its labour is generally applied. . . ." Smith's concern about all of a nation's working people is evident. In a wealthy nation "a workman, even of the lowest and poorest order, if he is frugal and industrious, may enjoy a greater share of the necessaries and conveniences of life than it is possible for any savage to acquire." In the rest of the book he explains why this is so.
While The Theory of Moral Sentiments showed how normal, self-interested people could make moral judgments by consulting an internal "impartial spectator," in The Wealth of Nations Smith explains how such people will automatically contribute to the well-being of others even absent such consultations, simply by pursuing their own ends. "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner," writes Smith, in one of the most frequently cited passages in the history of economic thought, "but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love. . . ." With several strokes of his pen, Smith thereby provided a moral justification for motives that had been morally suspect in Western thought for thousands of years.
How can self-interested behavior--the "private interests and passions" of men Smith calls them--lead to the good of the whole? By means, he says, of an "invisible hand"--perhaps the most famous, or infamous, bodily metaphor in all of social science. By an "invisible hand" Smith does not mean a mystical force; he is referring to an unfettered market propelled both by competition among self-interested sellers and by buyers seeking the best possible deals for themselves. If sellers produce too little of something to meet buyers' demands, for example, the price of the product will rise until other sellers step in to fill the gap. If some sellers charge too high a price to begin with, others will step in and charge a lower one.
Unimpeded, the invisible hand will allocate goods efficiently. But the key to wealth creation, for Smith, comes in the division of labor--by which individuals specialize in doing or producing a particular thing. Smith famously illustrates this principle by reference to the making of pins within the kind of small factory that characterized the early years of the Industrial Revolution. "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; to make the head requires two or three distinct operations . . . ," he explains. "I have seen a small manufactory of this kind where ten men only were employed . . . [who] could make among them upwards of forty-eight thousand pins a day." He contrasts this with the likely output of individuals who tried to make the entire pins themselves. "[I]f they had all wrought separately and independently . . . they certainly could not each of them have made twenty, perhaps not one pin in a
day. . . ."
Specialization improves productivity because it allows workers to become more skilled in their specific tasks, motivates them to discover more efficient means of doing them, and saves them the time of changing over to different tasks. Here, Smith noticed something that modern managers often overlook: Innovation often begins with the workers closest to the things being worked upon. "A great part of the machines made use of in those manufactures in which labour is most subdivided, were originally the inventions of common workmen, who, being each of them employed in some simple operation, naturally turned their thoughts towards finding out easier and readier methods of performing it."
In order to reap the full benefits of specialization, the market must be sufficiently large. After all, there's little point in creating forty-eight thousand pins if there aren't enough people to buy them. The larger the market, the greater the opportunities for specialization. It follows that barriers to trade, within a nation or between nations--regulations, licenses, tariffs, quotas, and other market protections--reduce potential wealth. At the extreme, the necessity of self-sufficiency causes hardship, as in "the lone houses and very small villages which are scattered about in so desert a country as the Highlands of Scotland, [where] every farmer must be butcher, baker, and brewer for his own family."
What People are saying about this
Meet the Author
Adam Smith (1723-1790) was a Scottish philosopher who is best known for his book The Wealth of Nations, which had a profound influence on modern economics and concepts of individual freedom. He was a professor of logic at Glasgow University, as well as the chair of moral philosophy. His lectures covered the field of ethics, rhetoric, jurisprudence, and political economy. In 1759, he published his Theory of Moral Sentiments, which embodies some of his Glasgow lectures. In 1776, he published The Wealth of Nations, which covered such concepts as the role of self-interest, the division of labor, the function of markets, and the international implications of a laissez-faire economy. Smith is most often recognized for the expression "the invisible hand," which he used to demonstrate how self-interest guides the most efficient use of resources in a nation's economy, with public welfare coming as a by-product. With acting credits that span stage and screen, Gildart Jackson is most often recognized for his role as Gideon on Charmed. Other notable TV roles include Jackson Palmer on Providence and Simon Prentiss on General Hospital, as well as guest appearances on Stargate: Atlantis, Las Vegas, and CSI. Theater roles include Trigorin in The Seagull, Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, and Adrian in Private Eyes at the Old Globe.

To sell an abridged edition without stating that is in fact abridged is, simply, fraud. I would like to read, and make up my own mind about as well as learn from, ALL of what Adam Smith wrote.
Nobody seriously involved in economics can do without this exhaustive work, originally published in five volumes as An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. This classic is a pragmatic and accessible milestone in the history of economics. Its author, Adam Smith, is woven into every economics textbook. However, Smith¿s theories, which today often are recounted mostly in fragments, frequently incorrectly, reveal their entire social and economic innovative power only in context. Smith burst onto the scene at a time when absolutist national states monopolized the world's precious metal reserves and tried to increase their own wealth through stringent export policies. These states were motivated by an entirely new concept about national wealth: that it stemmed from the work of the country's people, not from gold. Based on that idea, economic markets should balance themselves as if guided by an 'invisible hand,' impelled by each individual's self-interest. The state has to provide only an orderly framework and specific public goods and services. Even though Smith's image of idealized economic and social harmony may have developed a few cracks over the course of time, his ideas have inspired many well-known economists during the past 250 years, including David Ricardo, Vilfredo Pareto, Friedrich August von Hayek and Milton Friedman. We highly recommend this seminal work.
Written by Adam Smith who was the founding father of capitalism. This book was the the historical book that changed the views of many people. This book is highly regarded in the economics community. I reccomend it for anyone who is interested in econ or capitalism. A must read for any thinkers.
All you need to know.
This is reprint's Edwin Cannan's extensively annotated 1904 scholarly edition. This is the edition reprinted by the University of Chicago Press in 1976 for the 200th anniversary of its original publication. You can be assured that this is the most widely accepted, standard academic edition. It does not contain Cannan's Introduction or Index. It does contain his Notes and Marginal Summary. Obviously it does not have the George J. Stigler's Preface from the UofC edition, but it contains an introduction by Robert Reich, commentary by R. H. Campbell and A. S. Skinner and a Modern Library "Reading Group Guide". Having looked over all of the edition's on the B&N site, I recommend this one as superior to the others, even if more expensive.

Very Informative. Insights proved to be accurate over time. This book helped me to form better conclusions and analysis of cultures for one of my books.
Extremely tedious, laborious reading with somewhat outdated vernacular, but a must-read for those interested in the history of economic theory.
