The amazing video, done as a project for Economics class, in which Adam Smith (Father of the Free Market) is a British Spy come to America to steal their Economic secrets. A terribly twisting plotline with Mission Impossible scenes, mobs, amazing gadgets (such as the Ringtone Refrigerator), and good old Get Smart references. Well, at least as much of that as we could fit into a n 18-minute video!

  • Hold on a second: if the U.S. had a completely free market, then why was the Boston Tea Party formed? Wasn't it formed in response to the tea tariffs?

  • Nice point. I'm not sure I remember the rational we had at the time we made this, but I think it was something along the lines of: "The colonies were farther from Britain, and so the King had less of a market stranglehold on them." But really, we're just full of it. Smith didn't visit America. This was just an Economics Project and I think our teacher cared more about the movie being interesting than fully accurate. Think of it as an alternate history. Suspend your disbelief just a little ;)
