According to Brinsfield (2015) for production to take place all the factors of production needs to be organized by their owners in a way that is profitable and effective. This factors of production are capital, entrepreneurship, land and labor. All the factors of production are important but labor is very unique in that labor cannot be treated like the other factors of production.
