“The man the world turned into a mascot for selfishness wrote his first and favorite book about sympathy — and the "invisible hand" appears exactly once in each book he published.”

“We are mirrors to one another. The same creature who judges itself through an imagined fair spectator also trucks, barters, and exchanges — sympathy and self-interest are not rival theories of humanity but one anthropology, and Smith wrote one book about each half.”
