Would Adam Smith rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?
Neither! He'd put the 100 duck-sized horses to work stamping little pins with their little hooves.

That's like asking chocolate or peanut butter! They're two great tastes that taste great together.

What’s the best antidote (today) to the torpor induced by the division of labor?
Participation in civil society. Something where you can interact with other people from perhaps different walks of life and more importantly you can exercise different parts of your brain.

What is something that Smith is know for but that you are unimpressed by?
This is going to probably annoy a lot of my economist friends but thinking of Adam Smith primarily as an economist really undermines the breadth and importance of his work as a whole.

Would you rather have a beer in a pub or champagne in a salon with Adam Smith?
I would prefer the salon but think he would prefer the pub, so the pub.

If an afterlife exists, what would you want to discuss with Adam Smith when you get to meet him?
Why he had his executor burn all his papers and this third treatise he was working on that was on Law and Government because I really wish he hadn't done that.
