I am inclined to agree.

Many know of "The Wealth of Nations", but how many have read Smith's "Theory of Moral Sentiments"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Smith#The_Theory_of_Moral...

> Although The Wealth of Nations is widely regarded as Smith's most influential work, Smith himself is believed to have considered The Theory of Moral Sentiments to be a superior work.[79]
