It was Adam Smith who believed that competition among businesses is important and that "the market" is driven by self-interest. He called this the "invisible hand" of the market.

The right answer is C. Adam Smith.

Adam Smith was impressed by the new free market economy of his time. This impression was the incident that caused him to think about the principles that made the new economy so successful. For the first time, he connects the idea of economic productivity with the miraculous incentive created by self-interest. He considered the division of labor a crucial factor in the great productivity of the new economic order. This division of labor made human beings all more dependent on each other. Human beings produced very efficiently what they specialized in, but they needed to find other human beings with whom to exchange what they had in abundance with what they lacked. Self-interest pushed human beings to be productive as they were the beneficiaries of their efficiency. On the consumption side, people could count on the self-interest of the producers to offer the products they wanted.

1. One historian argues the French and Indian War directly resulted in the events that started the American Revolution. (1)Write
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The French and Indian War directly influenced the subsequent American Revolution. This war, fought between 1756 and 1763, was the North American scenario of the Seven Years' War, which took place in Europe and in which France and Great Britain faced each other.

In America, the French were supported by various native tribes, and the battle territory was the Ohio River Valley. Both powers disputed the colonial territories of the North American continent, and in 1763, with the British victory, Canada became part of the British Empire. Furthermore, the French threat to the Thirteen Colonies was neutralized.

Although the colonists had been the main combatants, the British decided that the expenses of the war should be covered by the colonies themselves and not by Great Britain, since these had benefited from the defeat of France, so the Parliament passed a series of laws imposing taxes and fees on the colonies, which had no legislative representation in London. This led to a series of protests and mobilizations seeking to roll back these measures, but they were not heard.

This situation worsened with the Boston Tea Party and the subsequent sanction of the Coercitive Acts, until in 1775, in the midst of the British occupation of Boston, the American Revolutionary War began.
