Adam Smith's Moral Philosophy: A Historical and Contemporary Perspective on Markets, Law, Ethics, and Culture
Adam Smith is the best known among economists for his book, The Wealth of Nations, often viewed as the keystone of modern economic thought. For many he has become associated with a quasi-libertarian laissez-faire philosophy. Others, often heterodox economists and social philosophers, on the contrary, focus on Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments, and explore his moral theory. There has been a long debate about the relationship or lack thereof betwe…

Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments: On Morals and Why They Matter to a Liberal Society of Free People and Free Markets
This essay describes Smith's analysis of ethics in his Theory of Moral Sentiments: the interaction of our nature and our nurturing that makes common civic ethics possible and the dynamic interaction of individuals and extant societal constructions that can lead to ever more mature systems of civic ethics and thus toward those conditions necessary for a constructive, sustainable liberal system

Retrospectives: Ethics and the Invisible Hand
As modern economists, we use Adam Smith's "invisible hand" metaphor confident that we all know what it means in our discourse: it reflects our admiration for the elegant and smooth functioning of the market system as a coordinator of autonomous individual choices in an interdependent world. But in Adam Smith's moral philosophy, the invisible hand has a much broader responsibility: if individuals are to enjoy the fruits of a classical liberal soci…

The Role of Community Values in Modern Classical Liberal Economic Thought
Social frameworks are more than simply products of the autonomous actions of many homo economicuses pursuing their self-interest and individuals in society are more than simply the product of their social context. Individuals and society are coevolving entities. This coevolution is reflected in changing social values: communities try to inculcate extant values into individuals, individuals act on community values based on experience to the given …

The Neoclassical Model Enriched by the Structure of Control: A Labor Market Illustration
Traditional neoclassical theory treats the economic sphere as if it can be detached from its surrounding social and political environment. It assumes connections between the social/political spheres and the economic sphere are weak, and no change of significance occurs in the social and political environment during the period considered Social and political conditions are treated as "given" and, more often than not, the conditions of this given e…
The Political Economy of Rent-Seeking
A Reply to Brown and Hands
I found Brown and Hands' thoughtful comment on my article, Expand? ing the Scope of the Neoclassical Vision, stimulating, and I appreciate the opportunity to reply. Brown and Hands make three points about my presentation: 1. First, falsification is never as easy as Evensky implies. 2. Second, Evensky's contention that nonfalsification theories are tautol? ogies is simply not true. 3. Is such a refinement of terminology [clarifying the concepts of…

An Expansion of the Neoclassical Horizon in Economics: The Rent-Seeking Research Program Brings in the Nuances of Social and Political Control
The terms of discourse in the Neoclassical school of economic theory have constrained its ability to develop the connections between the economic and the social and political spheres. Building on the logic of the rent-seeking research program a systematic connection is developed. A taxonomy of distribution is presented in which rent and profit ate identified as distributions to control over productive factors. The structure of control embodied in…
