Likewise, Adam Smith explains the economic world of Laissez-Faire capitalism in abstract, holistic terms, creating a general picture of its components.

Capitalism is an incredibly efficient market system yet it comes at distinct costs. A core problem of capitalism is the manner it fulfils human need and desire.
