520    More than 200 years after Adam Smith published The Wealth 
       of Nations, governments around the world continue to 
       address many of the issues discussed in the book. The most
       powerful states in the world are still committed to 
       international trade, but questions are repeatedly asked 
       about the role of governments in the economy and the 
       effectiveness of the free market. Smith wanted to show 
       that mercantilism-the dominant economic theory of his time
       -was wrong. Mercantilism argues that the national economy 
       only exists to strengthen the government; so the 
       government should control and regulate the economy. Smith 
       opposes this idea in his book. He says that the government
       only has three roles within society: To protect the state 
       from invasion or attack from another state. To uphold laws
       to protect the freedom of individuals. To create and 
       maintain public works and institutions that could not (or 
       would not) be undertaken on a smaller scale. Beyond these,
       government should not interfere. Smith argues that when 
       people are free to pursue their own self-interest within a
       competitive free market, productivity increases.
