Answer: D) Adam Smith argued for a laissez-faire economy that is free of government intervention.

Explanation:

Adam Smith <em>believed in the possibility of the market to regulate itself through "an invisible hand".</em> He believed that it wasn't necessary for the state to intervene (too much) in the economy, as the market would develop its own set of internal rules, which would do justice to economic agents.

However, Adam Smith's theory <u>was based on the assumption that economic agents were rational agents</u>, who would choose the best course of action, the  option which best reflected their interests. In reality, <u>economic agents often are irrational and they don't make the best choices for themselves, something which disturbs the internal order of the market. There also are free riders everywhere.</u>

Adam Smith was far from being a communist, he believed in freedom and he hated the idea of history and tradition as determinants of manufacturing. He was in favor of competition as incentive for innovation, but his laissez-faire theory had its flaws.

What is momo product economy pls

Nigeria, an ex-British colony had an independence date that was heralded by the discovery and gradual exploitation of oil in commercial quantity in 1956 and 1958 respectively at Oloibiri. The discovery of this product (black gold) in a number of other nations like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Libya among others has contributed immensely to the social, political and economic growth of those nations. For Nigeria, available daily production data shows that the nation has equally earned over $760 billion from the export and sales of crude oil. Paradoxically, this huge revenue profile has not positively impacted upon the lives and environment of majority of Nigerians as is the case in Kuwait, Libya and others, rather most of it have been siphoned into foreign accounts by corrupt government officials. To worsen matters, for more than forty years now, all other sources of revenue earnings have been virtually a bandoned. The political class has constantly fallen on one another, fighting over how the foreign revenue accruing from the sales of crude oil should be shared.
