Adam Smiths treatment of economic development and population growth in backward countries is examined. His views are discussed in terms of his ideas on adverse state intervention and its impact on countries less advanced than Britain. Several population-related issues mentioned in Smiths Moral Sentiments are discussed. The several determinants of conditions of economic growth mentioned in Wealth of Nations are: 1) the system of natural liberty 2) division of labor and 3) abundance of food. Population growth development and economic policy and population growth are major topics presented. Europes contribution to colonies and colonies contributions to Europe are considered
