Madeleine Peterson · Answer 1

The person who thought that by pursuing our own self-interest we would be actually working for the common good would be Adam Smith.

This was one of his many ideas. The other authors you've mentioned here don't even come close to exhibiting such ideas that are conceptually similar.

Aldo Burch · Answer 2

The correct answer for this question is this one: "Karl Marx." Karl Marx promoted the idea that by pursuing your own self-interest in a free market, you would actually be working for the common good. Free trade or free market refers to the policy followed by some international markets in which countries' governments do not restrict imports from, or exports to, other countries.
