Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : Today, Trump continues to champion some of the concepts found in Smith's 1776 classic The Wealth of Nations.
63% : Just look at the surge in stock prices after the election result, as investors concluded that Trump will be pro-growth and pro-business.
51% : But as Trump selects his team in the coming weeks, the key question is what variant of "capitalism" the 47th president will uphold.
50% : But the key issue investors now need to ponder is where Trump stands in relation to the other half of Smith's free-market vision contained in The Theory of Moral Sentiments.
41% : Will Trump uphold that view too?
40% : Indeed, fear of falling asset prices could help to rein Trump in and dissuade him from pursuing more radical ideas.
37% : Trump has faced multiple law suits, and has often appeared to have scant respect for legal contracts.
24% : They also insist that it is the Democrats, not the Republicans, who have weaponised the law with politically motivated prosecutions of Trump (which may now be dropped).
20% : He shares Smith's distaste for excessive government interference and high taxes (though unfortunately he rejects Smith's case for free trade).
4% : During the campaign, Democrats often derided Donald Trump for his perceived onslaught on democracy, while Trump attacked Kamala Harris for her allegedly pro-government, anti-capitalist stance.
