Question Summary

ADAM SMITH~

"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".

"By pursuing his own interest (the individual) frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it".
