Zitate von Adam Smith
Ein bekanntes Zitat von Adam Smith:
Stets sind alle Menschen darauf bedacht, die für sie vorteilhafteste Anlage ihrer Kapitalien ausfindig zu machen. In der Tat hat jeder dabei nur seinen eigenen Vorteil, aber das Wohl der gesamten Volkswirtschaft im Auge. Aber dieses Erpichtsein auf seinen eigenen Vorteil führt ihn ganz von selbst oder - besser gesagt - notwendigerweise dazu, derjenigen Kapitalanlage den Vorzug zu geben, die zu gleicher Zeit für die Volkswirtschaft als Ganzes am vorteilhaftesten ist.
