Smith describes the precious resources of the World, beautiful, opulences, elegances of countries Worldwide. His view upon what makes a nation great as we may in modern terms utilize as: “ranking,” shuffles the very present – to recognize that what is valued as higher order or not, could be argued in lesser terms. I appreciated Smith’s point, but also thought that if resources are utilized, developed or not to potential, it will influence the “ranking” of modern times.
Adam Smith’s descriptions of a nation’s resources reminded me of the Spanish Conquistadors of America, that were deeply impressed with the beauteous lands of the Americas, including the soil of California for the growth of crops / agriculture.
Smith recognized that a nation can be rich or poor, and quite often what is considered as poor may possess the same or even better quality, superior opulences, produces, labor and fertility of the ground.
