The Evil of Adam Smith and British "Free Trade"

Confused about today's political events? Do you feel like a tennis ball being volleyed back and forth between the "right" and the "left?" This week's LaRouche Show presentation, originally titled "How the Global Financial and Monetary Crisis Is Seen in U.S. and European Policymaking Circles," was delivered to a special conference on world economic development held on May 17, 1995. In it, Lyndon LaRouche provided Americans a very clear strategic road map detailing the ACTUAL strategic battle lines existing then and today: the life and death conflict between the American System of Political Economy vs. the cult of British free-trade, typified by Adam Smith (as well as its "left opposition" Karl Marx) which has defined politics for over two centuries. As the rotten Wall Street/City of London imperial system unravels, Americans must abandon their beliefs in the cult of money and again focus on what defines real wealth in an economy.
