Adam Smith, Father of Modern Economics
Mr. Smith’s book is very much one of its time. He claims that the material world has its own natural order imposed by the invisible forces of the market.
Markets are insufficient guarantors of prosperity, industrial strength or even political freedom, even if they are essential preconditions for them.
His great, if scarcely original insight, is that specialization in tasks greatly raises productivity. Herein lie the roots of the wealth creation process. But, if this division of labour is to proceed, it is vital that those who specialize feel confident that they can exchange their single product for the other necessities of life-hence the importance of the market.
However, Mr. Smith demonstrates that exchange would approach a point of balance. Market prices would be driven to «natural» prices by the forces of supply and demand. The moment when all market prices equal natural prices is when the system is at its most perfect point of balance.
This is all well and good but some German reviewers, notably Friedrich List, have drawn attention to the very limited notion of profit that Smith has in mind, and the misguided theory of industrialization that is associated with it.
But if Smith is naive in this question, he is no less naive about the movement of markets to some perfect point of balance. Markets, to work best, need rules and supervision.
