The final page after twenty-five years of the island

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter II

Buy corn where it is cheap and sell it where it is dear, and watch prices find their natural level
Build manufactories and divide the work; cut turnpikes and canals, found a bank, improve an estate
Become Chancellor and decide which of the old laws to keep: the corn bounty, the duties, the wine ban, the chartered company
Smith writes to you as you play, and the quill button asks him for advice at any time
