How did Adam Smith believe individuals would help their home countries economies without government regulation

He believed that more wealth to common people would benefit a nation's economy and society as a whole.

Explanation:

In The Wealth of Nations, Smith described a self-regulating market. It was self-regulating because people produced according to what people would buy and people consumed according to what they wanted and could afford.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
