He published his classic \u003ci\u003eThe Wealth of Nations\u003c\/i\u003e in 1776, the year the American Revolution began. Smith became widely known for his ideas of free markets, laissez-faire commerce, and the invisible hand. Yet English politicians, landed gentry, and the nobility paid little attention and enacted none of Smith's suggested reforms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe American colonies, however, began their existence as an independent nation in 1781 with no money, no industry, no banks, and deep in debt. The Founding Fathers--particularly Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin--turned to the ideas of Adam Smith to create and jump-start an economic system for America with both immediate and long-sustained results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis little-known but vital part of U.S. history is now revealed in Roy C.
