From Economics for Dummies:
'He believed in invisible hand yada yada...............But Smith was not naive. He believed that businnessmen prefer to collude rather than compete whenever possible, and that governments have a very important economic role to play in fostering the robust competition needed for the invisible hand to work its magic. He also believed that governments must provide essential public goods, like national defense, that aren't readily produced by the private sector.'
