Serious Adam Smith Studies

Check out the International Adam Smith Society (IASS) HERE

Now in its 6th year with its Adam Smith Review (ASR) (annual), peer reviewed journal of authoritative, interesting and well written articles, symposia, and book reviews of recent Adam Smith scholarship, it is worth the annual subscription fee alone (members receive it automatically).

Contributions cover not just economics, but also moral philosophy, sociology, English literary aspects of Smith's works, classical history (a major interest for Adam Smith - he considered the fall of Rome in the 5th century a major defining event in the successor regimes that made modern Europe by the 18th century), and politics.

IASS helps to place Adam Smith in the context of his wider interests, not just his political economy.

I have just returned this evening from the 250th commemoration meeting of the publication of Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) held at Balliol College, Oxford Universary this week, and I shall re-commence blogging tomorrow (Saturday).

My wife is in the midst fo a 'flu attack, so my attention, of course, is directed to her; so posts may be short and sharp until she recovers.

The commemoration was organised by the International Adam Smith Society,which publishes the Adam Smith Review, a peer-reviewed, annual publication, of which issue no 4 is now available.

Readers may join the IASS by contacting the membership Secretary, Remy A. Debes (who presented an excellent paper) and he may be contacted : rdebesATmemphisdotedu or visit the Review's website: www.adamsmithreview.org

A demain
