I got this book a couple of weeks back, and as I read let me capture my thoughts.
The first quote is quite interesting (I hope it is as Adam Smith wrote it and not a translation of what he wrote)
This division of labor, from which so many advantages are derived, is not originally the effect of any human wisdom, which foresees and intends that general opulence to which it gives occasion.
It is the necessary consequence of a certain propensity in human nature which has in view no such extensive utility; the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another.
