I read "Wealth of Nations" while at business school many years ago. I find it weird how often people will say something is leftist when in fact it is something Adam Smith would be fully supportive of (for example government intervention to ensure net neutrality). Or they believe capitalism leads to the opposite conclusion of what Smith actually advocated or warned about (e.g. Citizens United). So many today proclaim they are fervent followers of capitalism, yet have an incredibly poor understanding of this philosophy and the founding tract of Adam Smith. Your post made me order the book so I can read it again.
Yeah, it's quite weird to realize that the Dems are actually the most capitalist party right now. And also to realize how far removed the Libertarians (and most Republicans) are from capitalism.
Lol, nah. It was on a flyer when I was looking for inspiration, and I've always liked the saying "still waters run deep".
