.... developed a sexual attachment to his mother.

He suggested, however, that businessmen seeking their own interest are led "as if by an invisible hand" to promote the well-being of society. Smith's Analysis of Economic Systems This position is supported in the Wealth of Nations by an elaborate analysis of how economic systems function and develop over time. S .....
