Britain. Adam Smith in 'An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations' (1776) states: 'It is this effort, protected by law and allowed by liberty to exert itself in the manner that is most advantageous which has maintained the progress of England towards opulence and improvement in almost all and which, it is hoped,will do so in all future times.'
