I get what you're saying, Both of you have provided insight into more of how the world does work. One thing that I am coming to understand is that the actual working of the world does not always mesh with the theory. What is stated by Adam Smith does not always pan out in the actual working of the world or our portion of the world.
Besides pragmatics, I think this is where I get my wires crossed with society. What it comes down to is in the larger picture is he who owns the gold makes the rules.
And that is merely a slightly more modern variation of "might makes right." In real life theory and practice diverge a lot, and the issue for a lot of us is that the subtext can be more important than what is on the surface. If you cannot see the subtext, It is sometimes next to impossible to know what is going on.
