Smith has been proven wrong in several neuro-psychological/sociological researches in between.
Only a neurotic social insecure minority acts out socially exclusive in his decessions,The most are aware that human collaboration is the surviving optimum of our specie.
The cynicism mistrusting the human potential to care created by neoliberal abuse of the resources(human resources included)for the benefit of few(well partly, as they are interconnected like all in all!)is a great danger for humanity .We have the choice between arrogance or compassion,to be a part of the problem or his solution. Arrogance shows the insecurity to relate openly and can that for be considered as neurotic.The same as egocentric narcissism replacing self love.Itīs high time for humans to heal ourself from this social autism by self-awareness of authentic needs.
