　　It is in Books IV and V of The Wealth of Nations that Adam

Smith offers his considered response to the French Physiocrats,

perhaps the first great school of economic theorists, and assesses

the nature of the mercantile system, particularly the colonial

relationship with America, whose achievements could have been even

more spectacular if conditions of free trade and economic union had

existed. Even on the eve of the Declaration of Independence, Smith

famously predicted that America "will be one of the foremost

nations of the world." It is also here that he develops the case

for a limited state role in economic planning, notably to combat

market failure and induce efficiency in areas such as education,

public works, justice, and defense. His pioneering analysis still

provides many subtle and penetrating insights into one of today's

most vital and controversial policy debates.
