First sentence: THE merit of free trade was discovered and disclosed by Adam Smith in his monumental work The Wealth of Nations (though, as with Newton and Leibniz on calculus, we must recognize the remarkable work of Abbe de Condillac, whose essay Commerce and Government was published in the same year as The Wealth of Nations and is a far more elegant and sharp statement of this case).
