Communist propaganda? Capitalism champion? Tried reading reviews on it but they were rather vague.

The exact opposite of this. Its basically the foundation for free market capitalism.

It's basically the foundation of the modern world economic/financial system, so it's a pretty important book.

It was written by a guy named Joseph Smith in order to frick a bunch of broads in Utah. What else do you need to know? You illiterate piece of shite.

I really enjoyed the chapters on Lagniappe Economics. A real page turner.

I just wonder who will finish their next book first, Smith or GRRM.

"Invisible Hand" theory. Business is motivated to profit maximize because accumulated wealth acts like an invisible hand, fondling and arousing people for centuries.
