In Adam Smith's earlier work, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments," which I think is just as important, he made the observation that the value of any government is judged in proportion to the extent that it makes its people happy.
Em sua obra anterior, "A Teoria dos Sentimentos Morais", que considero igualmente importante, Adam Smith fez a observação de que o valor de qualquer governo é julgado proporcionalmente ao grau que torna o povo feliz.
