It had been Adam Smith (1723 - 1790) who first set up economics as another branch of knowledge, and many would say his work has never been surpassed. The Wealth of Nations, which made an appearance in 1776, is the definitive words for many who think that economical decisions are best still left to markets, not governments. In the centre of Smith's doctrine is an optimistic view of the consequences of self-interest. Though each individual seeks only personal gain, the collective consequence is increased success, which benefits society all together.
