Douglas Irwin, Professor of Economics at Dartmouth, presents:

"Why Are Some Countries Poor? Adam Smith and Beyond"

Perhaps the key question in all of economics is: why are some countries rich and  
others poor? In 1776, Adam Smith provided an answer in his book The Wealth of  
Nations. Professor Irwin will examine Smith's view and assess whether it is still  
relevant to today's world.
