That's absolutely true. It's precisely that it (the expansion of markets, which --> rise in the Division of labor --> rise in productivity --> rise in wealth of nations) coincides with the interests of 2 classes out of 3 -- and one of them the most numerous -- that he can say it's the public interest.
But he also clearly says that the working class can't be the governing class because they are cretinized by that same division of labor. And that's what leaves the land-owning class.
