Genesis 3, Clothing, Exploitation

According to Smith, Barter is the distinguishing characteristic of the Human species, while according to Marx, it is the manufacture of tools.  However, each misses a more fundamental distinction--the need to manufacture clothing.  So, Genesis 3 is more accurate in this respect, but for the wrong reason--conceiving that need to originate in shame, rather than as protection against the elements, a problem for Humans that is ignored in that account of the early history of the species.  Now, easily overlooked in the prospect of Leisure that is a primary Economic motive in Capitalism is that it is not exactly a Work-free condition.  Rather, it is a condition in which others do the work.  Accordingly, the Theological interpretation of Leisure as Salvation, rooted in Genesis 3, as has been previously discussed, tends to validate having others working for one so Saved, including, therefore, any exploitation that might be involved.  The role of Religion in buttressing American Slavery notably exemplifies the influence of that inclusion.
