I have been reading a book on political economy by E. Peshine Smith and by his comments it is clear that he didn't consider Adam Smith in the same light as he is considered today. Peshine Smith clearly pointed to the ideas behind free trade as coming from Ricardo and not Smith. I suspect that since the powers that be know that very few people are going to read a 1200 page book then almost anything can be attributed to the man.
