ADAM SMITH'S OPTIMISTIC TELEOLOGICAL VIEW OF HISTORY
No full textAdam Smith's four-stage theory provides the framework for his writings on history. The fourth stage is the commercial epoch; the culmination of history in this stage is a key component in the conventional interpretation of Adam Smith as a prophet of commercialism. In two historical case studies Smith shows the capacity of commercial society to regenerate itself. This potent capacity suggests that commercial society is inevitable. At a certain point in time it also overcomes the major obstacles to its permanence. Smith's philosophy of history anticipates the end of history views of Kant and Hegel.Political Economy,
How Might Adam Smith Pay Professors Today?
No full textAdam Smith’s proposal for paying professors was intended to induce increased faculty knowledge. If students have imperfect information about what they learn, and universities can only imperfectly measure the input of faculty time in student learning, publications may be used to measure faculty knowledge. If professors’ ability to publish is positively related to their ability to produce student learning, which universities can imperfectly measure, publications may be necessary to attract more able professors. Since research signals faculty knowledge, schools that do not value publications per se could require higher publication standards and pay higher wages than schools that value only publications.
ADAM SMITH'S VIEW OF HISTORY: CONSISTENT OR PARADOXICAL?
No full textThe conventional interpretation of Adam Smith is that he is a prophet of commercialism. The liberal capitalist reading of Smith is consistent with the view that history culminates in commercial society. The first part of the article develops this optimistic interpretation of Smith's view of history. Smith implies that commercial society is the end of history because 1) it supplies the ends of nature that he identifies; 2) it is inevitable; and 3) it is permanent. The second part of the article shows that Smith has some dark moments in his writings where he seems to reject completely such teleological notions. In this more civic humanist mood he confesses that commercial society does not supply the ends of nature, nor is it inevitable, nor is it permanent. Both views exist in Smith and the commentator is forced to choose between passages in Smith's work in order to support a particular interpretation of the former's view of history.Political Economy,

Political Economy and Economic Science: The Work of Phyllis Deane
No full textSome time ago, Phyllis Deane pointed to “an inescapable tension between political economy and economic science”. Yet, the separation of positive economics (pure and empirical) on the one hand and normative economics (pure and applied) on the other is still common among neoclassical economists and has a long tradition. Moreover, Keynes "[wanted] to emphasize strongly the point about economics being a moral science", which implies that, in his view, the separation between science and ethics cannot be maintained either. In this paper we argue that an entirely different vision of society and of man is implied in the neoclassical approach and in the classical-Keynesian approach, which is associated with widely differing views on the great problems of economic theory: value, distribution, employment and money. The method employed in both approaches is also fundamentally different; this shows up in a differing relationship between theory and historical reality. Finally, the relationship between economics on the one hand and ethics and politics on the other is sharply opposed to the liberal and to the middle-way classical-Keynesian view. It is argued that in neoclassical economics a tension exists between economic science and political economy, between theory and history and between economics on the one hand and ethics and politics, and that such a tension does not exist in classical- Keynesian political economy. The clue to this state of affairs is provided by the differing visions of society and of man associated with both approaches and the implications of these visions.
