It's still a good read to get the basics of a capitalist economy. It just hasn't aged well considering how the economy has transformed, especially after the industrial revolution.
I didn't know Chumpettes were taught the narrative that The Industrial Revolution somehow canceled out Adam Smith's wise words.
But :lol at learning this from you and Will.

Empirical evidence definitely cancels out words.
You still haven't provided any empirical evidence.

You're really quite put out when others are more knowledgeable than you.

No, shutting down economies because healthy people might catch a cold is pure dogma.

Let's be honest. No one gives a shit about the hierarchy of your enemies list.
And none of that has anything to do with your insecurity.

The part that concerns how the middle class/poor benefit from conservative economic policy is definitely all dogma.

I really don't know. All I know is if you clown derp once, you're on his enemies list for life and he'll cry out for you in the night.
It's so weird.

I didn't say it canceled it, I actually said it's still a decent read for the basics in capitalism.
What I said is that concept of an economy changed drastically from the industrial revolution to here, and thus books from the late 1700 clearly fail to reflect modern economic constructs.
It wasn't just the industrial revolution, but also globalization, the move to a fiat economy, the heavy commercialization of non-tangible property, the radical improvements in transport and technology, etc.

Maybe because Blake told him, “derp, I am your father. I forgot to go to the pharmacy and 9 months later, boom, there you are.”

No, actually, that's science, which is what you're laughing at.
This isn't the first pandemic we face either, even if you were not born for the last big one.
Also not the first time the economy ends up shambles during a pandemic, shut down economy or not.

Not sure what caused it, but Blake is so far up his ass is ridiculous. He's even dedicated multiple threads to him...

Trickle down, especially in modern times, definitely is.
Now, the business cycle, money supply, deficits and inflation, etc... that's much more debatable...
