Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith did not explicitly endorse or condemn slavery, but he did view it as just another type of commodity. He compared the cost of slave labor to the cost of free labor and noted that when the cost of free labor was higher, slave labor was used instead. Therefore, Smith took a laissez-faire position on slavery, allowing market forces to determine its role in the economy. Neither A, B, nor D accurately reflect Smith's views on slavery.
