Not fair to blame Adam Smith for today's greed is good culture. Smith drew a distinction between greed and self-interest. Modern economists have conflated them but Smith would have vehemently disagreed. To Smith, self-interest is merely prudent, whereas greed is often irrational and self destructive, as well as socially destructive.
I agree. Smith was not the Milton Friedman caricature that people make him out to be. He genuinely cared about workers and consumers. "Free markets" to him were actually about freedom, not about businesses dominating every aspect of society.
There is no price gouging. If that were true, that would mean the corporations charged us way too little before because they were simply so nice and didn't want the extra profits
