James Gordon Bennett, editor of New York Herald, wrote in response to the 1850 Women’s Rights Convention. The new dispensation of Lucretia Mott and the philosophers, proposes:

To dispense with Christianity and the Bible. After an experiment of nineteen centuries, they declare the system to be a humbug.
To abolish the existing political and social system of society as part of the false machinery of the age.
To put all races, sexes and colors upon a footing of perfect equality. The convention having proved by phrenology and biology that, the sexes are equal in point of intellect, and that color is a mere difference of complexion, it is proposed to abolish the only distinction of sex by a universal adoption of breeches. . . .
Old things are to be done away with, and all things are to become new. Seward is to be sustained, and [President Millard] Fillmore is only to be tolerated till the advent of the new dispensation, when Lucretia Mott, Abby Kelly, Douglas, Greeley and Sojourner Truth are to rule the roast. Then, and not till then, shall we realise the jubilee of the Devil and his angels.

smith proposed the idea of the invisible hand—the tendency of free markets to regulate themselves by means of competition, supply and demand, and self-interest. smith is also known for his theory of compensating wage differentials, meaning that dangerous or undesirable jobs tend to pay higher wages to attract workers to these positions, but he is most famous for his 1776 book: "an inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations."

ultimately through the ideas presented in "the wealth of nations," smith changed the import/export business, created the concept of what is now known as gross domestic product (gdp) and argued for free exchange.

before the release of "the wealth of nations," countries declared their wealth based on the value of their gold and silver deposits. however, smith’s work was highly critical of mercantilism; he argued that instead countries should be evaluated based on their levels of production and commerce. this sentiment created the basis for measuring nation’s prosperity based on a metric called gdp.

before smith’s book, countries were hesitant to trade with other countries, unless it benefited them. however, smith argued that a free exchange should be created, as both sides trading become better off. this led to the increase in imports and exports and countries judging their value accordingly. smith also argued for a limited government. he wanted to see a hands-off government and legislation conducive an open and free market. smith did see the government responsible for some sectors, however, including education and defense.
