The US adopted the Constitution in 1788 following Adam Smith’s “THE WEALTH OF NATIONS”. Within 40 years we were an up and coming World Power.
Castro took over Cuba in 1959, and after 60 years of Communist rule they still cannot make “La Revo-loo-sion” work.

Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations was published in 1776 and described the natural phenomenon of Capitalism via the “invisible hand” Like another Freeper said it is what happens when you don’t have a gun to your head aka “voluntary exchange” of goods and services.
