Man, that’s good stuff D-Lamp
Edmund Burke and Adam Smith were not just contemporaries and countrymen, they were good personal friends. Adam Smith gave us conservative economic theory, and Edmund Burke gave us conservative social theory.
They discussed their ideas with each other because their philosophies are inextricably intertwined. Adam Smith cites examples of immoral economic behavior (Monopolies, Cartels, etc.)
Economics cannot exist outside of a moral philosophy which underpins it. If theft isn't immoral, then how can you protect assets or property?
