: Smit je bio žestoki kritičar monopola, privilegija i pretjerane regulacije. On je tvrdio da država ne treba da se miješa u ekonomske odnose, već da njena uloga treba da bude ograničena na osnovne funkcije: odbranu zemlje, održavanje reda i pravde, izgradnju javne infrastrukture (poput puteva i mostova) i obrazovanje . Ostalo, kako je vjerovao, najbolje je prepustiti slobodnoj igri tržišnih snaga.

Smith spent over a decade observing economic systems, trade routes, and manufacturing processes.

Smith opens his magnum opus with one of his most famous observations: the division of labor. He uses the example of a pin factory to illustrate this point. If one person attempts to draw the wire, straighten it, cut it, and attach the head, they may produce a single pin a day. However, if the manufacturing process is broken down into distinct, specialized operations, a small group of workers can produce thousands of pins daily.
