If Adam Smith is applicable in Gambia, then in simple words: The dalasi is high in demand. People with foreign curencies require more dalasi than people who want other currencies. Demand outstrips supply. The resultant profit from the reselling of foreign money support the Dalasi's stability.

Doug Jones’s interpretation of Adam Smith slides into ‘pious’ verbiage. Spare a thought for the context. First, Adam Smith was well aware of how land was divided among people. He was under no illusions that it was divided by ‘Providence’ – it was divided by men not ‘Providence’, who were often violent, or gaiend it from inheritance or marriage.

One of Smith's followers was Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), an Englishman twenty-five years younger than Smith. With Smith he stood apart from those preaching the benefits of self-denial. He wanted betterment for common people and put a political and democratic spin on Smith's economics, describing everyone as best judge as to his own advantage. He advocated legislating laws that protected common people from criminal offenses, that created fire departments and agencies that fought diseases. He favored government stimulating the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges and the like. And he believed that laws should be passed that provided people with guarantees against starvation.

Smith taught that prices and wages will automatically reach optimal levels (guided by an "invisible hand") when such freedom is allowed. For instance, jobs that require special training will result in fewer people making that investment and, therefore, eventual higher wages. This explains why doctors make more than bus drivers. He ... taught that odious or unpleasant jobs would result in higher wages (garbagemen versus retail clerks, for example).

Smith Brothers survived by discovering that what was old is new again. Home delivery of milk is hot. Especially if people know who owns the cows so there's a guarantee no growth hormones were used.

[T]he cult surrounding Adam Smith was now unstoppable. People flocked to the new temples, especially those who had tried getting a camel through the eye of a needle and didn't like their chances with Christianity.
