On April 30th, 1975 the fall of Saigon took place marking the end of the Vietnam war through the evacuation of all American military along with thousands of civilians. The evacuation was through an operation known as Operation Frequent Wind which became the largest helicopter evacuation in history. During this time communist forces were advancing from the North to capture Saigon. Over 1,000 American civilians and over 7,000 South Vietnamese refugees were flown out of Saigon in less than 18 hours (Butler, 1985). The picture is chosen as it clearly illustrates thousands of Vietnamese civilians and American soldiers fighting for space on the helicopter.

A free-market economy works well only without the government’s interference.
Adam Smith's theories are the basis for free-market capitalism and is the model of early capitalistic systems.
The Wealth of Nations lays out the economic theory of capitalism based on a free-market. As Adam Smith describes a free-market, the government should not interfere or regulate trade for the best results. When the government keeps their hands off the economy, large amounts of wealth can be earned and new businesses can grow with private investment and competition. Gilded Age capitalism is an example of free-market without government regulation. It produced unbridled wealth but also a large gap in social classes. Smith argues that is a necessary consequence to create motivation and competition.
