I think the world Adam Smith envisioned was entirely idealistic. Ignoring how a system works, it requires the backs of chattel slaves then to underpaid and overworked individuals when they couldn't use slaves, or the destruction the system causes in other countries. It was bound to decay as it was always an instrument of oppression. Plantations were still capitalistic even if the rest of society hadn't been converted yet. Tobacco, Cotton, and Sugarcane through our current coal, lithium, avocados, cobalt, etc. The system hasn't changed only the commodities did.
