Features: On the wealth of nations and the country, Smith studied the economic behavior of people during the period of exchange, believing that the starting point of economic behavior is self-interest; opposed government interference in business and commercial affairs, and advocated low tariffs and free trade. The economic ideas in the book also had a decisive impact on governments throughout the 19th century and have continued to this day. Smith's thoughts are profound, and his style is straightforward.
