“[Según Adam Smith] Los verdaderos líderes son aquellos que, al encontrarse entre ellos, moderan el fanatismo de sus representados, lo "rebajan" para hacerlo compatible con el resto de la sociedad.”
Mariano Grondona, Los pensadores de la libertad

Jacob Soll
“Today, Adam Smith is famous as the father of capitalism and an advocate of a central tenet of free market thought: that greed is supposedly good and it drives markets. This was an idea pushed by neoliberal economists, inspired by Friedrich Hayeck and Milton Friedman, who had no knowledge of the history of moral philosophy, or of Scotland. What they missed is that no gentleman of his time could ever espouse greed, least of all a professor of moral philosophy. Indeed, Adam Smith recognized greed as an economic driver, and saw it as necessary, but also realized that it was a problem for society. His work was not an espousal of greed, but rather a response to it. His work was an attempt to find a way to reign in commercial greed to support the agrarian order, which he believed to be inherently more productive than business.”
Jacob Soll, Adam Smith: The Kirkcaldy Papers
