I did not realize that Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations was published in the same year as the Declaration of Independence. I knew that The Wealth of Nations came out before the Declaration and that the Founding Fathers had read it. I agree with your perspective, it is good food for thought.

Thanks! Yes. I realized this recently too. I knew Adam Smith was writing around the time of the revolutionary war—but the exact year!!
