Lets talk about Adam Smith shall we Kitty is sharpening her nails...you may have bitten off a little more than you can chew...

What he did not see was, that his own system, was the product of a particular history; that what he regarded as the System of liberty, justice, and divine benevolence, would be moulded into a system of selfishness by the private interests and prejudices of particular orders of men Oh gee you missed that one huh...

Did you miss the part where Smith generalizes wealth entirely, says he was not interested in wealth, but from the phenomena of selfishness. He beleives men are naturally selfish he represents them as pursuing wealth for sordid objects, and for the personal pleasures.

Are all men really that shallow? I know quite a few that aren't..

My bet is that you have never even read "The Wealth Of Nations" you might want to give it a try and come back when you are less ignorant.

In it he speaks of the natural effort of every individual to better his own condition, and he had only the half of the nation in mind: He seems to have been perfectly content though it involves an inconsistency which is fatal to his whole theory with the existing restraints on the energies of women; and the only effort on the part of a woman to better her own condition which he has stated is "to become the mistress of a family."

Ok now whos you next imaginary hero...bring him on.
