I believe Smith said "rational self interest" would lead to prosperity. It's the rational part most people skip over in Smith's writings. They somehow believe he condoned and encouraged corruption and fraud. Quite the opposite. While certain aspects of vulture capitalism may be "technically" legal, they are morally repugnant. Unfettered capitalism as an economic system is highly unsustainable in the long term.
