Paper Summary:

The paper begins with an introduction from "Wealth of Nations", explaining Smith's view that human nature is to trade and barter between resources. The paper continues with a number of subjects in the economics field, showing how Adam Smith's theories relate to them. These topics include protectionism, political uncertainty and infrastructure.

From the Paper:

"In Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith recognized that human beings have a natural propensity "to truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another." Smith saw the free trade of goods across borders as an extension of this human instinct. People exchange products and services as "free agents" in pursuit of their own individual interests. In the process, people become part of an international economy, connected across national borders, as if guided by an "invisible hand.""
