#WealthofNations
Today is the 250th anniversary of the publication of Adam Smith’s the #WealthofNations, in which he argued that free trade & free markets were a far better way of organising the global economy than imperial domination, brute force & tariff protection. It seems that we still have a lot to learn.

Yesterday, I played a surprisingly quick match of #WealthOfNations

I gambled too hard on cooperating with a player who did not want to, leading to my nation's downfall.

One might have expected a man who boasts of an education in economics at the University of Glasgow to have some appreciation of the forces driving change in town and city centres across the United Kingdom. 🤨

I've seen repeated instances of incorrect interpretations by people who have apparently not read the work cited. My pet peeve is the #WealthofNations. It appears that nobody's read it in the last hundred years. It's just one misinterpretation after another with that book.

In the vicinity of p. 354 of Adam Smith’s #WealthOfNations, Smith contends that inflation causes wages and prices to fluctuate at the same rates.

Experience shows us that prices only go up, but wages can change.

Smith was wrong. Honest mistake? Perhaps.

A very shaky foundation for “Economics”.

Interesting article and some predictable titles from #Musk
But the surprise is #AdamSmith’s #WealthofNations.
I strongly suspect that, like many right wing fans of Smith, he hasn’t actually read it…
Because it isn’t actually that right wing

Ayer eché una partida sorprendentemente rápida al #WealthOfNations

Aposté demasiado y perdí. Me la jugué a que otro jugador negociara conmigo y, al final, no lo hizo. Mi nación jamás se recuperó.
