13. You waded in much deeper than I have!

Gary's economics goes in deep on money, banks, debt, monetary policy, etc. I am slowly plowing through all his videos to understand how the pieces fit together.

From my memory, seems like Adam Smith was talking more about market dynamics, rather than capitalism. He was writing more in the age of mercantilism, precursor to capitalism.

Thanks for the references to other resources. The older I get, the more relevant it seems to our daily lives.
