Modern State Capacity in The Wealth of Nations
This article offers a new way to read Book V of The Wealth of Nations and argues that it contains a robust, integrated, and underappreciated theory of modern state capacity. Though many scholars have offered detailed analyses of distinct topics contained within Book V—for instance, Smith's position on standing armies, education, his “maxims of taxation”—few have treated the final book as a culminating and coherent argument about modern statecraft…
The Politics of the Excluded: The Political Thought of Wong Chin Foo
This article examines the concepts of citizenship and exclusion in the writings of the nineteenth-century Chinese American figure Wong Chin Foo (1847–1898) and situates his works within the context of Chinese Exclusion in the United States. Against a backdrop of intensifying racial violence and legal and social exclusion, Wong repudiated racial stereotypes that were used to justify Chinese exclusion. He argued that the Chinese were culturally and…
Smith at 300: Reading and Rereading “The Corruption of Moral Sentiments”
“ This disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition, though necessary both to establish and to maintain the distinction of ranks and the order of society, is, at the same time, the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.” TMS I.iii.3.1
The Routledge Guidebook to Smith's Wealth of Nations
The Wealth of Nations has long been an economized text. I mean this in two senses of the term. First, it is a text that has been all too vulnerable to foreshortening, oversimplification, and being quoted out of context. Attempts to abridge, condense, and extract the essence of The Wealth of Nations extend almost as far back as when Smith first published the work. One of the earliest “commentaries,” published in 1778, was John Gray's The Essential…
Rethinking the “Chicago Smith” Problem: Adam Smith and the Chicago School, 1929–1980
This article traces the origins and evolution of a popular interpretation of Adam Smith as a “Chicago-style” economist, and it challenges the idea that the “Chicago Smith” is simply a misinterpretation of Smith's ideas. To that end, it reexamines the role that the Chicago school of economics played in developing and propounding a distinct vision of Adam Smith, not only within the profession of economics, but also for the broader American public i…
The apostle of free trade: ’ Adam Smith and the nineteenth-century American trade debates
This paper examines the diversity of uses of Adam Smith’s ideas in nineteenth-century American debates about the tariff. Legislative debates about American trade policy ran almost uninterrupted from the 1820s to the end of the century; as a result, they provide an abundance of examples of the ways in which legislators marshaled economic ideas to shape political discourse and influence policy. Smith’s causal ideas about free trade and its effects …
