Our Enemies and Us
Our Enemies and Us: America's Rivalries and the Making of Political Science. By Ido Oren. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2002. 256p. $29.95. Political scientists periodically step back and reflect on the state of their discipline. Some explore the origins and development of a particular methodological approach to the study of politics, such as behavioralism or public choice. Others place developments in political science in a broader polit…

The Problem of Liberty in the thought of Adam Smith

Rethinking the War on Poverty
Disciplinary Problems
Disenchanted Realists
Class, Commerce, and the State

Capitalism and the Welfare State
The Attack on the Welfare State
Liberalism, Civic Humanism, and the Case of Adam Smith
In this article, I examine critically Donald Winch's interpretation of the politics of Adam Smith. I explain how Winch wrests Smith's political thought out of the larger vision of commercial society that is found in his moral, political, and economic writings, and how Winch misreads Smith's understanding of particular political problems such as the dehumanized workforce and the standing army. I also show how Winch's civic humanist reading of Smit…
