The reason I have chosen these two is that, presently, the world seems to be either Smithian or Malthusian in their outlook on business.
The Smithians (If I may) roughly believe that the division of labor and trade make us all better off.
The Malthusians roughly believe that competitive forces in the market actually makes us all worse off.
I believe this division is much deeper, and more accurate, than talking about Socialists and Capitalists. Examining these earlier documents gives us a good deal of insight into modern discussions of sustainability.
