That’s what’s wild- Adam Smith has been totally whitewashed by modern capitalists. They want to believe he is the exact opposite of Karl Marx, but their boy actually has many similarities with Karl that they choose to ignore. Kinda like how they ignore the parts of Jesus’s teachings that don’t vibe with their free markets and guns for all.
Yep. He had a lot to say about social welfare, how horrible poverty was, how shitty monopolies are etc.
I don’t really want to rehab Adam Smith or crapitalism but when even the poster boy for the scholarly justifications for this system would be like “excuse me, what the fuck?” maybe alarm bells should be ringing?
