One example of how the enlightenment characterized a change in economic thought from the past

The Enlightenment was a period of new intellectual thought and identity that arose in the 18th century that existed predominately in Europe. During the Enlightenment, new thinkers rose that presented new ideas involving reason, church and state, and individual liberties and identity. In regards to economics, new thinkers such as Adam Smith became highly influential in setting the idea of modern day economics. Adam Smith, a Scottish philosopher is famous for writing the influential work "The Wealth Of Nations", in which he states that a country's economy runs automatically, and when given little government interference, is able to sustain itself by means of economic competition among individuals for more wealth and prosperity. Through the workings of the "invisible hand" (individuals who organize their own division of labor. without government interference), economic competition becomes commonplace and leads to stronger free market for the state to thrive off. This idea is influential and relevant, as money and profit remains a strong driving force in society. Adam Smith's theory of economic liberty for the individual without government regulation is a strong example of how certain Enlightenment philosophers questioned the relationship between the individual and the state. Adam Smith's theory set the foundation for what we know as modern day capitalism

answer: a

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk

brainliest means the answer that is best and you found it very
