2. The Wealth of Moral Sentiments : En studie av Adam Smiths syn på lönearbete
Magister-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för lärande och samhälle (LS)Sammanfattning : My ambition in the midst of the myriad of conflicting views in Smith scholarship has been to examine Smith’s perspective on wage labour, as formulated in The Wealth of Nations, in light of previous research, the historical context, his moral psychology described in The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and his presentation of rights developed in Lectures on Jurisprudence.

Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/SocialhögskolanSammanfattning : The aim of the study was to complement dual labor market research by qualitatively exploring how labor market segmentations may be understood beyond sociodemographics or inequalities of job quality. By interviewing 12 Swedish workers with wage subsidies I have found that access to high job quality may facilitate trajectories towards primary market sectors, but they are only relevant so far as the workers feel that they deserve access to good jobs.
