Wealth Of Nation (Ch.2)

In this chapter Smith saw the main distinction of man from animals. For our specialized society had forced us to cooperate with each other even though the main goal was for personal preservation.

He saw in the wild for an animal to get what they want; they mostly do it with someone they are affectionate to. In contrast to us, where I might not be affectionate to the butcher who I purchased the meat from, yet we could still trade and each get what we want.

Personal though about Chapter 2

I am not sure if that’s good, to trade with people who are not affectionate to. But in the standpoint for the progress of the society we definitely need that ability to be able to trade with everyone.
