Well... I want to live in peace.

I can never agree with Adam Smith. I think he, just like his theories of comparative advantage, never focused on overall development of the world-nations and individuals. I don't know if he ever thought about over- production. I don't know if he wanted to include risks of exploitation of human and other resources in his theory. I don't know if he imagined the world to be a single entity and self sufficient in that way or he just wanted to publish papers. I hate the approach of ' ceteris paribus' ( all other things being constant).

Whatever…

I think, now the world is in a mess, or rather individual freedom/autonomy is in a mess. Just like in earlier times specialization in labour is forcing people to take up a singular commitment. I don't know. Four years of walking up and down the streets of Calcutta, I still don't understand them, their language, their needs, their fears , their joys... My college just expects me to concentrate on this 'island of excellence' or other 'islands of excellence'. (When everyone uses that word to mean centre of excellence, I use that word to mean a desolate place packed with intelligent people). Even the so- called- artists now confine themselves to their opium dungeons or commercial success. And everyone, I think, regrets the fate that gave them no chance to make choices or for being so coward as I am.

Or does this happen when we live by ourselves? Maybe. And I hate Adam Smith. I think we really have to rethink about the new foundational economic principles of the society. Or do we love having problems, being exploited or love to tolerate slavery? No. No.
