Rule of Law

This letter to the editor of the WSJ does a good job stating that Adam Smith's statement that 'By pursuing his own interest [an individual] frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it' "really only works in societies that are dominated by a 'rule of law' mindset."

I am not sure if I agree with the writer's statements about the cultural divide between rule of men and rule of law. They are intriguing.
