Thomas Carlyle

Carlyle did not believe in the government regulating Industry or Labor. Carlyle believed that the market was able to regulate itself without the intervention of the government.
In Labour, Carlyle " Doubt, Desire, Sorrow, Remorse, Indignation, Despair itself, all these like helldogs lie beleaguering the soul of the poor dayworker, as over ever man: but he bends himself with free valour against his task, and all thse are stilled, all thse shrink murmuring far off into their caves. This man is now a man." Carlyle believed in good honest work, and that working made you a better person. He believed that if you would work then you would find out about yourself.

In Captains of Industry, Carlyle spoke of Mammonism, in which the market regulates itself. He spoke of this theory a lot. This is the type of government the US has. We regulate ourself, with little government intervention. " Government can do much, but it can in nowise do all." What if the government controlled every little aspect of life? That would not be much fun. "

Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; e have to say. Like People like Government" The people who are in the government are no different than me or you so what makes them experts on what works and what does not work. We as people make up the government and decide what works. "Problem of Organising Labour, and first of all of Managing the Working Classes, will, it is very clear, have to be solved by those who stand practically in the middle of it, by those who themselves work and preside over work." I agree with Carlyle, let the people decide they are the ones who work.
