In his
famous book The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith stated: “It is not from
the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our
dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not
to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own
necessities but of their advantages.”
