<span>tough power politics with no room for idealism, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"</span>
Adam Smith (1723 – 1790) was a Scottish economist. In 1776, he published The Wealth of Nations, which became the foundation of modern economics.
Smith saw the first duty of government was to protect the nation from invasion. Next, he supported an independent court system and administration of justice to control crime and protect property. Finally Smith favoured a system of “public works” that profits-seeking individuals may not be able to efficiently build and operate.
At the beginning stages of industrialization, Smith recognized that repetitive factory jobs dulled the minds o workers. Smith wanted all classes, even the poorest, to benefit from the free-market system. This is why I think Adam Smith would agree with government interventions with businesspeople like Social Security, minimum-wage laws, child-labour laws and anti-monopoly laws.
UICK ANSWER<span>The Allies secured victory in World War II when Germany was overwhelmed by the strength of the Soviet Red Army, aid from the United States and the strategy of the United States Air Force. The war ended with the surrender of Germany on May 7, 1945.</span>
The Soviet Red Arm improved their training regimen, and utilized more advanced technology to outmatch the Germans. The Soviet Union's emergency war economy produced armaments for the army, and the United States and Great Britain also provided aid to the Soviet troops, sending food, boots, telephone wire and trucks. The United States Air Force used intelligent bombing strategies against Germany and Japan, and when combined with Britain's air power, the German Air Force was no match. Germany was forced to use its air power as defense rather than offense. Many aircraft were destroyed, and the German transport of supplies was interrupted.
