As someone who has actually read Adam Smith, I find it amazing that he is considered to be the father of libertarianism and celebrated by modern-day greedy capitalists.
The Wealth of Nations is basically him observing vehicles of corruption and trying to find means to improve equality.
I'm not even sure if the editors of the Uni. Chicago Press edition have even read the whole thing themselves.
What this does symbolise is how a certain class of people are bullshitters through-and-through.
