@ppng Okay, so explain to me how Adam Smith's book is a "defense[sic] against" a critique that wasn't written until a century later.
I'm not "quibbling" anything, I'm just explaining that economics does not match your intuitions.
Go and read a textbook on Price Theory. When you understand what I mean by "price = marginal value = marginal cost", then you'll be equipped to critique capitalism. Until then, you're just embarrassing yourself.
