    Trade and markets have existed for a long time, but prior to Hume and Smith the dominant economic model was mercantilism which asserted that there was a finite amount of money in the world and you could only get richer at the expense of others.

    They looked at this and re-interpreted it, subverting the dominant paradigm. That sounds like invention to me.
