When I read Abraham's response, I initially thought he was referring to Smith's work as "fun, short and easy." That is what I was laughing about. The article does a good job of applying Smith's principles to the current situation, and it is easy to digest.JALLEN wrote:I was. The article applies some of those principles to another Walmart situation, equally foolish.Jaguar wrote: I thought you were referring to Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. I almost fell out there for a second - no emotion sure, but fun, short and easy - not so much.
For the record, I have never read Wealth of Nations, way above my pay grade, although I have read books on the subject. My son graduates from Tarleton State University next month with a double major in Mathematics and Economics. He says people in the Economics department often say Smith is their favorite author, but no one admits to actually reading the whole tome.
