Explanation

In the book Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith describes how some nations are wealthier than others because of free trade. He explains the foundations of money and the ways money makes trade easier. In describing the concept of ‘invisible hand”, he suggests that the system of pricing and valuation react both directly and indirectly with governing agencies where these elements of the market interact.
