Adam Smith Thought

Enlightened Self-Interest
Adam Smith Thought believes in a concept called Enlightened Self Interest, or the Invisible Hand of Capitalism. This means that people will always act in their own self-interest, but the most intelligent, and thus successful (see 1.2) among us will act in ways that advance their interests while still allowing for others to assist as a debt of gratitude for assistance given by the successful ones.

The Wealth of Nations
Adam Smith Thought believes that the reason for certain people's success over others is their work ethic, and this principle extends to entire nations. He thought that the Romans were the most efficient and hardest-working civilization ever and that their collapse was from decadence, allowing for harder-working Germanic tribes to destroy them. After Rome, he believed that Britain was its natural successor, being able to build a great navy and take over much of the known world with it.

Early Social Darwinism
Adam Smith Thought believes that the "Work Ethic of a People" isn't defined by culture or trends in behavior, but rather that certain races simply were hard-wired to work harder than others, and that justified colonialism, as it forced the "lesser races" to increase their working speed. The Roman race was hard-working, and passed their traits to the English, before having their own diluted by the Germans. The English then influenced races around the world, and Smith projected that after the fall of Britain, India would take hold as the next great race.

Markets
Adam Smith Thought believes that the best method of distributing goods is via the market mechanism. He believed that markets should be localized to specific towns, and not expand much beyond that in order to best serve individual people.

Classical Liberalism
Adam Smith Thought believes that one can not have "economic freedom" without personal freedoms, such as speech, religion, and weapons.

Parliamentary Liberal Democracy
Adam Smith Thought believed that the best method of running a government was through parliamentary liberal democracy, a method seen in the first and second French Republics.

Constitutional Monarchy
Adam Smith Thought believed that a society could not truly function without a long-running, powerful yet restricted figurehead. This manifests in a call for a constitutional Monarchy, which was well on its way in Britain at the time.

Personality
Often calls other balls lazy. Hates feudalists, and other market conservatives, while being baffled by the concept of a command economy. Refuses to believe that countries without "Roman Traits" are successful.
