Adam Smith - The Invisible Hand Speaks.

Adam Smith was fantastic, but he only described part of the equation. Look up Ludwig Von Misis for "the rest of the story". There was an excellent essay posted here once that involved a dialogue between an idealistic young man and the ghost of Von Misis. I wish I had it to link to here.

The Laws of Supply and Demand

Most people do not understand

It isn't a myth!

I wrote it! said Smith

I used my invisible hand!

--Ronald Coase (Nobel '91)

Check out that web site I noted. It is the Von Mises Institure. It may be on there.

Thanks. I'll look up von Misis

Thanks for the bump.

The tags that you are looking for are &nbsp; and <blockquote>.  Try this code:

<p>Paragraph text 1.</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Paragraph text 2.</p>
    <blockquote>
    <p>Paragraph text 3.</p>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
<p>Paragraph text 4.</p>
<p>Line with 4 extra&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; spaces.</p>

---

That prints the following:

---

Paragraph text 1.

Paragraph text 2.

Paragraph text 3.

Paragraph text 4.

Line with 4 extra     spaces.

---

Notice that a normal space followed the 4 non-breaking spaces to give is a total of 5 spaces between the words "extra" and "space".

I hope that helps.

Oh, thank goodness. I thought for a minute it was the ghost of Senor Wences...

Great Pics! Thanks.

I hope that helps.

I knew someone would have the answer. Thanks for taking the time. Now I can properly format those longer quotes.

I notice that your quotes are almost entirely from The Wealth of Nations. Some conservatives (such as Russell Kirk) had some misgivings about the apparent proto-utilitarian justifications of Smith until they read his Theory of Moral Sentiments. On the web the text of The Theory of Moral Sentiments can be found at this link

[KC Burke]

From the Theory of Moral Sentiments:

Every system of positive law may be regarded as a more or less imperfect attempt towards a system of natural jurisprudence, or towards an enumeration of the particular rules of justice. As the violation of justice is what men will never submit to from one another, the public magistrate is under a necessity of employing the power of the commonwealth to enforce the practice of this virtue. Without this precaution, civil society would become a scene of bloodshed and disorder, every man revenging himself at his own hand whenever he fancied he was injured. To prevent the confusion which would attend upon every man's doing justice to himself, the magistrate, in all governments that have acquired any considerable authority, undertakes to do justice to all, and promises to hear and to redress every complaint of injury.

From the Theory of Moral Sentiments:

I like the quote. But I am not familiar with the cited work. Who's the author? It almost sound like Smith.

[PsyOp]

Disregard my previous post, I just saw your first one. At least I guessed right about the author. I have to stop responding first to comments at the top of the comments list and start where I left and work up the list. Thanks for the reference. I'll check it out.

The "center" tag is also useful.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

More usefull tags.

Font size = # (3 is default)

Here is font size 1.

Font color = red

Font face too.(veranda if your wondering)

Then there is B for Bold, U for underline, I for italians, INS for insertions, DEL for deletions.

Always remember to close the tag at the proper place or you will get undesirable results.

[PsyOp]

Thanks for all the useful tags.

[P.O.E.]
