Labor comprises, too, the serviceable operations of partnerships as such; also of corporations, of chambers of commerce, of labor unions; the services of schools and churches and theaters and social clubs; of political parties and religious societies--every kind of corporate service, in short, including the service of governments--to the extent that such service contributes, in addition to the contributions of its constituents in their individual capacities, to the production of Artificial Objects. And Production--let the reference to this fact be not overlooked--comprises Delivery throughout the whole Productive Process to and including its termination in delivery to ultimate consumers. Railway workers and sailors and storekeepers and household servants and waiters at hotels and restaurants and all their Economic associates from employer to “menial,” are producers as truly as are farmers, mechanics or manufacturers. Human services of the corporate type, as well as those of the individual distinctively, are too numerous and too intricately woven together to permit of detailed consideration here. It is enough to note that far and away as some of them may at a glance seem to be from the Productive Process in Economics, they will be found upon intelligent inquiry--except as they may be more or less perverted in operation--to be in the Economic category of Labor. That is to say, they are human factors in the Production of Artificial Objects from and upon Natural Resources. One kind of corporate service, a comprehensive kind, should perhaps be given brief special consideration for the double purpose of illustrating the Productive functions of every variety of corporate service and of explaining the Economic characteristics of that outstanding one of all. This particular kind is Government. The “business” of Government, to use a colloquialism, the Labor of Government, to use the technical Economic term, is comprehensive and effective in the Productive Process to the degree--a reservation that applies to all other subclassifications of Labor, from the lowest grade of “hired man” to the most powerful partnership or corporation, from the most awkward apprentice to the shrewdest business “enterpriser,”--that its functions are wisely and fairly devoted to the task.
