“Just as Karl Marx did not attribute what he saw as the detrimental effects of a market economy to the ill will of individual capitalists, so Adam Smith did not attribute what he saw as the beneficial effects of a market economy to the good will of individual capitalists.

According to Smith, the beneficial social effects of the businessman’s endeavors are “no part of his intention.”22”
