This article discusses some issues about the development of capitalism and its interfaces with the State from bibliographic studies of the work A riqueza das nações, by Adam Smith and Princípios de economia política e tributação, by David Ricardo. It shows how these authors reveal the liberal thought about colonization and State intervention. It is concluded that the work of David Ricardo, in particular, reveals that several of his recommendations and assertive as to the defense of liberalism are present, alive and circulating victoriously, including what is conventionally called neoliberalism. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to reflect on these issues, seeking to understand the interfaces between the State and the economy are fundamental so that we can better understand other subjects, among which we highlight the education.

Keywords : State; Liberalism; Colonialism; Education.
