Using contemporary examples—from baseball trading cards to ridesharing and from supermarkets to immigration—they show how people pursuing their own interests have led to an enormous explosion of wealth and human well-being since the fateful year of \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWealth of Nations\u003c\/i\u003e’ publication—1776. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e McCloskey and Carden call Adam Smith’s vision one of “primary liberalism.” America’s Founders took it seriously. Yet Smith’s lessons, while timeless, need to be relearned every generation. As the disastrous collectivist experiments of the past two centuries show, it is not grand central planning schemes, but economic liberty, and the idea of commerce as an honorable pursuit, that have made possible The Great Enrichment—the astounding increase in human well-being that began around 200 years ago and continues today. In \u003ci\u003eNo One's In Charge: The Obvious and Natural System of Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e, McCloskey and Carden take the reader on a journey through the world Adam Smith made.","brand":"Cato Institute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48203253711103,"sku":"9781969284212","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781969284212_s600x595.png?v=1777991238","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781969284212","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
