    Adam Smith on public expenditure and taxation

    No full text
    This paper presents Adam Smith’s view on taxation and public expenditure, by means of an almost literal reading of the Wealth of Nations famous passages on the "duties of the sovereign" and on the "maxims of taxation". Contrarily to the commonest usage of these passages, we will show that their core is the preoccupation with the public expenditure soaring and the defence of decentralisation. Furthermore and also contrarily to the existing interpretations we defend the non-existence of any contradiction between Smith’s income and price theory (and the incidence hypothesis), provided due attention is paid to the guiding role of the "maxims".Adam Smith, taxation, public expenditure

    THE THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF ADAM SMITH'S WORK

    No full text
    The paper will discuss the theological foundation to Smith's writings. Teleology, final causes and divine design were initially seen as central to understanding Smith's writings. Over time, this view fell out of fashion. In the period after World War II, with the rise of positivism, commentators tended to overlook or downplay this interpretation. In the last decade, or so, teleology has started to be restored to its former position as an essential element in understanding Smith. After spelling out Smith's teleology and his view of final causes, divine design and the ends of nature, we try to explain the Panglossian nature of the 'new theistic view' of Smith. While our view differs somewhat, we agree with the essence of the 'new view' claim: a theological view exists in Smith which underpins his moral and economic theories.Political Economy,

    TCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Sócio-Econômico. Economia.Analisaremos aqui as relações existentes entre duas obras de Adam Smith, Teoria dos Sentimentos Morais (TSM) e Riqueza das Nações (RN), e a conseqüente relação entre moral e economia. Na primeira parte analisaremos as teses de Smith sobre filosofia moral (TSM) e economia política (RN). Na segunda parte analisaremos seletivamente a controvertida recensão dessas teses, o que ficou conhecido na história do pensamento econômico como “Das Adam Smith Problem”. Essa recensão dividi-se basicamente em duas interpretações: a primeira considera que entre a TSM e a RN haveria uma ruptura no pensamento de Smith, a segunda considera que existe uma unidade entre ambas as obras. Com relação à primeira interpretação, selecionamos a análise de Louis Dumont. E como contraponto, selecionamos a interpretação de Jean-Pierre Dupuy. Advogando a tese da unidade entre as obra de Smith, esse trabalho mostra as relações existentes entre a filosofia moral e economia para Adam Smith
