Adam Smith "discovered" profit as distinct from "wages of superintendence" by noting that capitalists received a return proportionate to their capital, which did not appear to be related to any intrinsic or learned skill or management responsibility that they might have.

Is profit an appropriate method for distributing income, in light of Smith's discovery? What is Smith's opinion? What are alternative views? In the U.S. today, what is different about profit compared to Smith's observations of his time period?
