Adam Smith

	Adam Smith - 1723 - 1790
		Smith lead a quiet and sheltered life; he lived with his mother (she lived to be ninety) and remained a bachelor all his life.
		Adam Smith's approach to his work was first to do a historical study of his subject, and then to advance the area, often building on the work of his contemporaries: he was well aware of the work done by Montesquieu and the French Physiocrats.
		Adam Smith had a grand vision of which The Wealth of Nations was to be only a part, this part, as a book was one of two that was ever polished up enough for publication during his lifetime.

	The Adam Smith Myth - Mises Institute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Adam Smith did not found the science of economics, but he did indeed create the paradigm of the British classical school, and it is often useful for the creator of a paradigm to be inchoate and confused, thereby leaving room for disciples who will attempt to clarify and systematize the contributions of the Master.
		Adam Smith was born in 1723 in the small town of Kirkcaldy, near Edinburgh.
		Smith's bias in favour of material objects amounted to a bias in favour of investment in capital goods, since a stock of capital goods by definition has to be embodied in material objects.

	Literary Criticism (1400-1800) \| Smith, Adam \| INTRODUCTION
		Smith was born in the seaport town of Kirkcaldy, Scotland.
		Smith left the University of Glasgow in 1740 and enrolled at Oxford, where he remained for seven years, pursuing a course of study that was largely self-directed.

		Smith's Birth till the Publication of the Theory of Moral Sentiments Adam Smith, author of the Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, was the son of Adam Smith, comptroller of the customs at Kirkaldy,(1*) and of Margaret Douglas, daughter of Mr Douglas of Strathenry.
		As a farther illustration of the foregoing doctrine, Mr Smith considers particularly the degrees of the different passions which are consistent with propriety, and endeavours to shew, that, in every case, it is decent or indecent to express a passion strongly, according as mankind are disposed, or not disposed to sympathize with it.
		In Mr Smith's writings, whatever be the nature of his subject, he seldom misses an opportunity of indulging his curiosity, in tracing from the principles of human nature, or from the circumstances of society, the origin of the opinions and the institutions which he describes.

	The Celebrated Adam Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Adam Smith did not see that the manufacturer and merchant are maintained by the menial services of cooking and washing just as much as the cooks and laundresses are maintained by the manufacturer of bonnets and the import of tea.
		Smith tried to escape such circularity by his egalitarian assumption — still held in orthodox neoclassical economics — that all labourers are equal, and that hence wages, at least in the natural long run, will all be equal, or rather will be equal for equal quantities of labour toil among all the workers.
		Smith's analysis rested solely on the capitalist investing 'stock' and on his labour of management and inspection; the very idea of the entrepreneur as a risk-bearer and forecaster was thrown away and, again, classical economics was launched into another lengthy blind alley.

	The Adam Smith Myth by Murray N. Rothbard
		Adam Smith (1723–90) is a mystery in a puzzle wrapped in an enigma.
		Smith indeed wrote in a private letter to the University of Glasgow of the 'never-to-be-forgotten Dr. Hutcheson,' but apparently amnesia conveniently struck Adam Smith when it came time to writing the Wealth of Nations for the general public.
		Smith instead took the egalitarian-environmentalist position, still dominant today in neoclassical economics, that all labourers are equal, and therefore that differences between them can only be the result rather than a cause of the system of the division of labour.

	Scottish Philosophy in the 18th Century (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Smith attends also to a trilateral relation, between a spectator, an agent who acts on someone, and the person who is acted on, the ‘recipient’ of the act.
		Smith's account of justice is built upon his account of the spectator's sympathetic response to the recipient of an agent's act.
		Smith's comment is: ‘When the preservation of an individual is inconsistent with the safety of a multitude, nothing can be more just than that the many should be preferred to the one.

	The Carpetbagger Report > Print > Adam Smith accuses Howard Dean of ‘wedge’ politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Smith’s argument is that Dean’s style is to use a wedge to divide the party to his advantage, accusing his rivals of not just being incorrect about policy proposals, but labeling them traitors to the party for occasionally having compromised with Bush.
		Smith seems to think this may work to Dean’s advantage in the short term, but it will be to the party’s detriment over the next year.
		Smith added, “It makes no sense to insult and toss out of the Democratic Party a group of people, whatever their positions on these issues may have been, who currently oppose President Bush.

	The Forgotten Agrarian: Re-Reading Adam Smith
		However, it must be remembered that Smith is writing before the industrial revolution; when he speaks of a "manufactory," he is thinking of something like a "master" and a dozen or two apprentices.
		Smith never uses the term "capitalist;" He is familiar with only two forms of "political economy:" mercantilism and agricultural systems.
		The system that Smith did envision was one based firmly on the farmer, with the manufacturer and the merchant freely competing for his produce.

		By some strange providence, the Adam Smith Institute runs a site called Tax Freedom Day which calculates the equivalent day of the year in which the average British taxpayer starts earning money for his own use and not that of the government.

		Smith has no problem with large companies with large profits, so long as they realise they exist within the paradigm of the customer is king.

	Adam Smith: the Forgotten Agrarian

		No examination of Adam Smith can be complete without touching on the issue of his alleged praise of "greed" in the form of "self-interest."
