Praise for Roy C. Smith
On Adam Smith and the Origins of American Enterprise: How the Founding Fathers Turned to a Great Economist's Writings and Created the American Economy:
"It is no coincidence what[so]ever that the nation with the most successful economy the world has known was born the very same year that Adam Smith published the greatest of all economic books, The Wealth of Nations.

On The Global Bankers:

With a combination of a practitioner's insight, a broad perspective, and an engaging style, he explains what a seductive mistress international finance can be - and how it affects the world in which we live." --Paul A. Volcker, former chairman, Federal Reserve
On The Wealth Creators: 5 Success Styles of the Multi-millionaires:
