PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!



"As every individual, therefore, endeavours as much as he can both to employ his capital in the support of domestic industry, and so to direct that industry that its produce may be of the greatest value; every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention." Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776 What are Smith’s ideas about an individual’s economic role in a society?

Respuesta :

Adam Smith believes that government should stay out of business that way businessmen can work on a job of their choosing so that they can enjoy their work and therefore make more money and buy more things which helps the economy which helps the government.
