Actually, Smith understood the need for a "level playing field" in economics, it's his supposed followers that conveniently forget about that part.
They pick & choose.
Kinda mirrors Jesus' teachings & the vast majority of his current set of followers in the USA.
Adam Smith Wrote:"When the regulation, therefore, is in support of the workman, it is always just and equitable; but it is sometimes otherwise when in favour of the masters.
Adam Smith Wrote:"No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed and lodged."
I haven't read everything by Adam Smith and I didn't know those quotes, thanks.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
