Adam Smith “believed that ‘wealth’ is not an accumulation of gold, but the development of farms, factories, cheap fuel, good streets, good schools and efficient transportation,” the invitation says. “In effect, the ‘wealth’ of a nation is made up of the productive energies of its people. The influence of his work is so great that Smith is considered the founder of the study of economics and is widely credited with defining and establishing the concept of free market capitalism.”

The Leadership Institute is the sole producer and distributor of Adam Smith ties and products in the United States.

Dubbed by Time Magazine, “the neckpiece of conservative Washington,” the Adam Smith tie’s distinguished history goes back to 1968. Men may purchase ties and cuff links and for women, LI offers scarves.
