Immediately prices rose in The Mercantile System. Zt^ America and fell in England, English merchants discontinued buying in America, while American merchants bought largely in England, so that in the following year all the gold came back again. Equally prominent in Adam Smith is his individualism, his complete and unhesitating trust in individual self-interest. He was the first to appeal to self-interest as a great bond of society. As a keen observer, he could point to certain facts, which seem...ed to bear out his creed. If we once grant the principle of the division of labour, then it follows that one man can live only by finding out what other men want ; it is on this fact, for instance, that the food supply of London depends. This is the basis of the doctrine of laisser faire. It implies competition, which would result, so Adam Smith believed, in men's wants being supplied at a minimum of cost. In upholding competition he was radically opposed to the older writers, who thought it a hateful thing ; but his conclusion was quite true.
