Read the following excerpt from Wealth of Nations to answer the next two questions. As every individual . . . endeavours as much as he can both to employ his capital in the support of domestic industry, and so to direct that industry that its produce may be of the greatest value; every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was no part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. In this excerpt, Smith argues that markets should be controlled by

Consider this excerpt from the trial of Galileo: Whereas you, Galileo, son of the late Vincenzio Galilei, of Florence, aged seventy years, were denounced in 1615, . . . for holding as true a false doctrine taught by many, namely, that the sun is immovable in the center of the world, and that the earth moves; . . . also, for having pupils whom you instructed in the same opinions; . . . also, for answering the objections which were continually produced from the Holy Scriptures, by glossing the said Scriptures according to your own meaning. Who/what made this accusation against Galileo?
