NPE and Brightdave need to chill, as I think both have you have legitimate arguments. There is fair criticism of libertarianism and socialism, and it's important to recognise that there is a sincere goal to each ideology towards aspects like social mobility and liberal freedoms. They just differ in how it can be achieved.

Adam Smith would simply not agree with the modern views on libertarianism. Sure some of his ideology was used, but really most of his theory is ignored by the right. Smith believed profits should be low, labour wages high and land should be distributed.

His policies were to work against the concentration of wealth. Funny enough, Marx was a admirer of Smith and his views, which would surprise a lot of libertarians.

The issue today with Adam Smith's theories is that people seek to use his theories to concentrate the wealth with the rich. Like Hector sums up, todays capitalism is nothing like Adam Smith's vision.
