This supernatural knowledge also was found in Jesus (Luke 22:31-32a). According to the Gospels Jesus is the truth while Satan is the father of all lies. (BT) This contradiction is

Matthew Thomas Explain the importance of self-interest in Smith ’s economics. How is it related to the wealth of a nation?
