Candidate for The Adam Smith Monthly Prize 2?
From The Washington Times, 8 June 2005
"Ferme la Airbus" By Bruce Fein
"Colbert's mercantilism eclipsed Adam Smith's free enterprise."
“Centuries ago, Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" scorned Airbus-type subsidies.
‘The bounty to the white-herring fishery is a tonnage bounty; and it is proportioned to the burden of the ship, not to her diligence or success in the fishery; and it has, I am afraid, been too common for vessels to fit out for the sole purpose of catching not the fish but the bounty.’ "
