Adam Smith (1723-90)
• Founder of Free Market Economics– He wrote “The Wealth of Nations” in 1776
• Argued: Free markets best promote the social welfare
• Government should not interfere in markets!– The economy is self-regulating through an invisible hand

"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.”
“We address ourselves, not to their humanity but of their advantages."
Adam Smith
Self-interest is our incentive to work hard

Adam Smith’s 2 laws of the Market
• 1) Self-Interest:• People act in their own self-interest
• Profits or greed motivate individuals (incentive)
• 2) Competition:• Lots of producers keep business “honest”
• Since business “fears” competition goods are produced at the lowest possible price
