Involuntary fame: Adam Smith

Everybody follow of Adam Smith(1723-1790), during the read of his An inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations, where he tells about the obvious economic dynamics, that are daily for every families and person, that lives on the word, in fact the read is very boring, but the same Smith, I think, would have said that his fame as founder of liberalist think is absolutely false; he certainly would have said it in conformity both of his intellectual honesty and because his book is last result of opinion that the British country had from two centuries before of Smith, hence the fame of founder of liberalist or liberal think, in economic sense is liberalist or laissez faire, is absolutely involuntary. Today for copies sold of his book and gain he certainly would attribute to herself this merit; but, sometime occurs, he is died. Anyway his fame is both involuntary because he has took from other, as one is Sir William Petty(1623-1687), that in years 1662, written A treatise of taxes and contributions, he describes the same obviousness, but the motive that we can’t apart is that economy is real matter, daily matter and therefore can tie alone to daily and to obviousness; whereby also the petty has told alone the obviousness, and if somebody after the this treatise want shoot him, we inform that he is already died. Some step of this treatise can gives to us a taste of this obviousness:     He Publick Charges of a State, are, that of its defence by land and Sea, of its peace at home and abroad, as also of its honourable vindication from the injuries of other States; all which we may. call the charge of the militia , which commonly is in ordinary as great -as any other branch of the whole ; but extraordinary,(that is, 1n time of War, or fear of War) is much the greatest. another branch of the public charge is, the Maintenance of the governors, chief and subordinate; I mean, such not only as spend their whole time in the Execution of their respective Offices, but also who spent much in sickness themselves as well with abilities to that' is end…”, these is the obviousness, and other obviousness is from Smith: “The job made during an year is found from where every nation takes everything that are necessary and comfort for the life that during a year it consumes and that are from the immediately job or that changed to other nations can be reached. It is the first lines of An inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations; this is the obviousness, and these two treatises are written for distance of 114 years one form other, and it is simple the tale of economic dynamic, hence the economy is obvious and very easy, because everyday we must consider it, and independently from social class everyman considers it; but the sake of this essay is one, I want demonstrate that the this economic dynamic already was present, and when Smith written its treatise the England was already a nation that, from half of 17^th century, was busied in free commerce; in fact a step of Michel Beaud(The birth of capitalism, p.43) is explicative for this wit: “The England is busy, from begin of 17^th century, in colonial expansion. The Oriental Indians Company is created in year 1600 through the direct aid of queen Elisabeth: fifteen years after it has twenty filial in India, in the isles of extreme orient…”; it is the liberal trade that the liberalism the England is from 17^th century; thereupon Smith told that is evident from 176 years, whereby he is the late of almost 2 centuries, compliment dear Smith; but he would say: “I have written a treatise about economy, if after some idiot had though that I have written the Holy Bible of liberal economy, I haven’t guilt”.
