  • Adam Smith's Politics

    E G WestREVIEWSouthern Economic Journal1980

    For most of the two hundred years or so that have passed since the publication of the Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith's writings on political and economic questions have been viewed within a liberal capitalist perspective of nineteenth- and twentieth- century provenance.
