First published in 1776, the year in which the American Revolution officially began, Smith’s Wealth of Nations sparked a revolution of its own. The Wealth of Nations provided the first-and still the most eloquent-integrated description of the workings of a market economy.

Regarding the rumor that Knight’s Lassie was modeled after Bobbie, there seems to be no concrete evidence Eric Knight was aware of Silverton Bobbie.
