Adam Smith ...

reading about Adam Smith and The wealth of nations.
Adam Smith was born on june 5th 1723
"An enquiry into the nature and causes of wealth of nations"

the often quoted passage

"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages."


the passage offers a useful insight to his work.Every individual works devotes resources to a cause that he thinks will increase his own security.A person works for his own gain and tries to maximize his own gain .Freedom desired by everyman is the cause of this reaction.In history we have seen charity and benevolence of the wolves ,we have seen wars fought for peace, and we have heard if not seen of great atrocities commited in the name of freedom.And we have cursed economics of this world for it.That is why we should never talk of them our own necessities but what use would there actions be use to them.
