If, according to Smith, wealth does not lead to happiness, why to Smith does the economist
(who studies the ways of increasing wealth) perform a "moral" functions?
 
I do think that Smith in general thought that wealth increases happiness, but not always
and with the Aristotelian criterion of "moderation". I am just working on this. Thanks for
useful insights.
