Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
                           Edited by Craig VanGrasstek, Professorial Lecturer

Welcome to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a Web book written by students in the American University's School of International Service in a Fall, 1999 senior seminar.     The seventeen chapters in this book cover a wide range of ideas and issues, but all seek to answer the same question: How relevant are the ideas of Adam Smith's Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776) for the economic and political problems of contemporary America?     Feel free to contact the authors directly with your comments and critiques.
