“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” -Abraham Lincoln

So, why do we have a word for "capitalists," but no equivalent for "laborists?" Forced to guess, I'd say it's because capitalists own the companies that publish dictionaries. Now, we DO have places where labor is studied. Laboratories!😁
