Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
The Real Adam Smith: A Personal Exploration by Johan Norberg, takes an intriguing, two-part look at Smith and the evolution and relevance of his ideas today, both economic and ethical. It’s difficult to imagine that a man who lived with horse drawn carriages and sailing ships would foresee our massive 21st century global market exchange, much less the relationship between markets and morality. But Adam Smith was no ordinary 18th century figure. Considered the “father of modern economics,” Smith was first and foremost a moral philosopher. The revolutionary ideas he penned in The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments, changed the world. Norberg explores Smith’s insights regarding free trade and the nature of wealth to the present, where they are thriving and driving the world’s economy. In the second hour, Ideas That Changed The World, Norberg traces Smith’s insights regarding the benefits of free trade and the nature of wealth to the present, where they are currently in operation. He talks with some of the most distinguished Adam Smith scholars, as well as leaders of some of the world’s most admired companies to discover how Smith’s ideas continue to be relevant and drive the global economy today.

Fairy tale about free market. Open national markets and globalization brings destruction of eurpean and USA middle class. It brings polution, child labour, poor work conditions, long work hours to people in underdeveloped countries. I dont know why they leave their communities and farms and accept that.It brings prosperity only for reachest people on earth and increase gap betwean rich and others.

In Theory or Moral Sentiments, Smith wrote of an "invisible hand" quite different from the one we are taught in basic economic classes. It reads:
"They are led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessaries of life, which would have been made, had the earth been divided into equal portions among all its inhabitants, and thus without intending it, without knowing it, advance the interest of the society, and afford means to the multiplication of the species."
Imagine what capitalism might be if our Founding Fathers adopted this concept over those found in Wealth of Nations. -
Bravo! Do they even teach these things in public schools anymore?
