Adam Smith, Come Home!

The Scottish historian, Niall Ferguson, changes his mind and decides independence is the best route for Scotland’s future. It might indeed help sever the country’s unhealthy dependency on its Southern neighbor, end some of its chippiness, and force it to make some market-oriented reforms. Or maybe they’ll continue to commit economic suicide with their suffocating and over-bearing government. Adam Smith has been a stranger in his own land for some time now, alas.
