# Commercial Hospitality Contrast
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The fundamental difference between traditional rural hospitality based on
|
||||
consuming surplus produce locally with retainers and dependents, and modern
|
||||
commercial society where wealth is spent on manufactured goods and personal
|
||||
consumption rather than maintaining large numbers of dependent followers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book III, Chapter 4
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith uses historical examples from medieval England and Scottish Highlands to
|
||||
illustrate how commerce and manufactures transformed the spending habits of the
|
||||
wealthy from maintaining large retinues to purchasing manufactured goods, thereby
|
||||
breaking the power of great proprietors over their dependents.
