The correct answer is A.

The Fair Labor Standards Act was issued in 1938 in the US to regulate wages and working hours. It constituted a mandatory set of rules to be followed by all employers involved in interstate trade or in the production of goods or services, with very limited exemptions. A minimum wage was set, also a maximum work week and extra retributions for those who worked over 40 hours. Minor and child labor were regulated too.

The correct answer is
<span>a. To protect the rights and wages of employees

It established a minimum wage as an idea and it also established overtime payments that had to be paid if workers worked more than what was the norm. It did include protection of children in labor but it wasn't the main thing. It didn't protect businesses or capitalism.</span>

How did the spanish contact with the Incas drive the development of capitalism in europe?
baherus [9]
The reason why spanish contact with Incas drove capitalism in Europe is multifold. After being exposed to the riches of the Incas empire, more and more ships were created in Europe (introducing more producers of ships and shipping supplies, etc.) because more and more people wanted to go to the New world themselves and exploit the riches that were available there.

What is the main inference that can be drawn from Adam Smith’s book The Wealth of Nations?
Maurinko [17]

A free-market economy works well only without the government’s interference.

Adam Smith's theories are the basis for free-market capitalism and is the model of early capitalistic systems.

The Wealth of Nations lays out the economic theory of capitalism based on a free-market. As Adam Smith describes a free-market, the government should not interfere or regulate trade for the best results. When the government keeps their hands off the economy, large amounts of wealth can be earned and new businesses can grow with private investment and competition. Gilded Age capitalism is an example of free-market without government regulation. It produced unbridled wealth but also a large gap in social classes. Smith argues that is a necessary consequence to create motivation and competition.
