# Benevolence
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The disposition to do good to others out of goodwill rather than self-interest.
|
||||
Smith argues that benevolence is an insufficient basis for economic organisation
|
||||
in a complex society. While a person may secure the friendship of a few through
|
||||
appeals to benevolence, they cannot rely on it to obtain the co-operation of
|
||||
the "great multitudes" they need in civilised life. Even beggars, who depend
|
||||
chiefly on benevolence for their subsistence, conduct most of their actual
|
||||
transactions through exchange.

## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book I, Chapter 2: "Of the Principle which gives Occasion to the Division
|
||||
of Labour"
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Benevolence serves as the foil to self-interest. Smith systematically argues
|
||||
that while benevolence exists, it cannot scale to support the complex
|
||||
interdependencies of a specialised economy, making self-interested exchange
|
||||
the necessary coordinating mechanism.
