Q. Was Adam Smith pro-business? Explain.

A. Yes he was. Smith provided the intellectual rationales for free trade, capitalism, and libertarianism. He was so pro-business that he invented the "invisible hand" to explain the "equilibrium" of the market. One of the main points of The Wealth of Nations is that the free market, while appearing chaotic and unrestrained, is actually guided to produce the right amount and variety of goods by a so-called "invisible hand" (today this approach is very much challenged by many economists including winners of the Nobel prize). He insisted that "self-interest alone (the basis of a pro-business approach) can lead to socially beneficial results.

How well has Adam Smith's theory been proven to work in our country?
Q. In his book Wealth of Nations, Scottish economist Adam Smith argued that society's interests are best served by a private enterprise system in which individual entrepreneurs seek their own self-interest versus other types of economic systems. He felt that competition was a better way to regulate business than government planning and control. How well has Smith's theory been proven to work in our country? Provide an example of how self-interest can also work for the benefit of all. Provide an example in which self-interest without government regulation can be a problem. Provide an example that illustrates how the United States has combined socialism with capitalism. Discuss your answers.

Q. How does Adam Smith's economic ideas in the Wealth of Nations can be seen as a critique of mercantilism?
Asked by sct - Sun Aug 2 05:59:38 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Mercantilism assumes that the world's supply of capital is fixed, and that a nation's wealth is maximized by a positive balance of trade. Smith pointed out that this is just not so. That wealth, in fact, is maximized by concentrating investment in those areas in which one has comparative advantage and freely trading with those who have other such advantages.

Why was Adam Smith the greatest modern thinker?
Q. I am doing an essay for history and I need to establish why Adam Smith was the greatest modern thinker. What influence did he have on other thinkers, events, ect?
Asked by Rebecca S - Wed Jun 16 16:09:18 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Adam Smith is considered the father of classical economics. In his book, The Wealth of Nations, Smith initiated the idea of the "invisible hand of markets." This important idea brought revolutionary insight into the concept of Supply & Demand (S&D was not suggested by Adam Smith). Specifically, it brought the idea that if a market was left alone, the dynamic interaction between "rational" "self-interested" buyers and sellers will lead to market equilibrium, which maximizes economic utility (happiness) to the overall economy. However, lately, the classical insight to economics has been greatly criticized by Keynesian economists.

A. If you'd bothered to do even a modicum of research first, you'd know that they were not contemporaries: Karl Marx wasn't even born when Adam Smith died. That means: 1. They lived in very different worlds and so their economic theories addressed very different problems. 2. Karl Marx was very much aware of Adam Smith's writings and was much influenced by them. 3. Your essay has begin with the different times and the influence of Smith on Marx, otherwise any comparison makes no sense.
