Wealth of Nations isn't really a "society manifesto", at least the 1st book. It goes to great lengths to compare and explain how and why things are valued/priced as they are. Hell, there's even a bit where Adam Smith claims the ideal salary should be twice what a man needs to sustain himself and his family, such that the extra money would be used to acquire more goods or services, thus making the economy grow.

Surprisingly based for the supposed founder of capitalism.
