Gold And Silver Wealth Of Nations

19 Th Century 18 Th Century

Only a few states that practiced mercantilism, however, understood this principle. Two developments paved the way for the ...

Wealth Of Nations Division Of Labor
846 wordsAdam Smith Some say he was absent-minded or even oblivious, but I rather like to think of it as frequent states of profound thought. The man I refer to is Adam Smith and after having read the assigned excerpts and a few other passages from his The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations I not only hold him in a new light, but I have arrived at three heavily debated conclusions. First, he believed that self-interest is the singular motivation ...
