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,

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Adherence to Iron-Folic Acid Supplementation Among Pregnant Women in Eastern Sudan: A Cross-Sectional Study

Face-to-face interview questionnaires were used to gather sociodemographic, obstetric, and clinical data (age, parity, education, residence, and previous medical diseases). Knowledge of anemia and IFAS was assessed. Multivariate analysis was performed to adjust for confounders.Results: A total of 568 pregnant women were enrolled in the present study. Among them, 449 (79.0%) adhered to the IFAS. The multivariate analysis showed that the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of IFAS adherence increased with ANC visits > 4 (AOR = 1.68, 95.0% CI = 1.01– 2.77) and knowledge of anemia (AOR = 2.06, 95.0% CI = 1.437– 3.276). In the univariate analysis, maternal occupation and knowledge of IFAS adherence were the only factors associated with IFAS adherence. Maternal age, parity, gestational age, education, residence, occupation, medical insurance, medical disease, and husband’s occupation were not associated with IFAS. Forgetfulness (71.0%), frustration from taking many drugs (54.6%), and unpleasant tests of the supplement (50.7%) were the main reasons for not taking the IFAS.Conclusion: About four out of five pregnant women adhered to the IFAS, indicating a good level of adherence, especially among women who attended more than four ANC visits and those with good knowledge of anemia. More attention is needed to encourage ANC to increase adherence to IFAS.Keywords: iron, folic acid, pregnancy, age, adherenc
Understanding Consumer Interest in Organics: Production Values vs. Purchasing Behavior
No full textExtensive research exists on who does or might purchase organic food products, however little research has addressed either who values organic production methods when deciding what to eat, and correspondingly, who does not purchase organics regularly. This paper reports that values about organic farming often do not translate into corresponding stated preferences about organic food consumption behavior. The paradox is examined within the context of the consumers’ sociodemographic characteristics as well as through opinions and preferences related to food in their lives.
Results show that consumer claims of buying organics and placing importance on organic production systems when deciding what to eat are highly correlated (.472 at 1% significance level; p<. 001). Organic consumers, however, comprise only slightly more than one quarter (27%) of the highly enthusiastic proponents of organic production methods. Our results corroborate existing research that well-educated persons and those who are primary household shoppers purchase organics most frequently. Additionally, women and those who are older, have higher incomes, and are more liberal, as well as respondents who claim food production knowledge also tend to buy organic food regularly.
Regression and factor analysis show that those who value organic production systems when deciding what to eat may be ranked in the following order: the religiously observant, older and female respondents, persons of color, and those who claim food production knowledge. Results show that many of these organic system proponents are under-represented as buyers, in particular: the religiously observant, those for whom food plays an integral role in their lives, the less educated, and lower income and older respondents. More attention should be directed to people who value organic production systems yet do not purchase organics. This will enhance understanding of the transaction barriers that impede consumer participation in the organic market. How this population values organic production systems also has implications for the development of public policy related to sustainable and organic agriculture.Peer reviewe
OVERCOMING POSITIVISM IN ECONOMICS: AMARTYA SEN'S PROJECT OF INFUSING ETHICS INTO ECONOMICS
No full textLogical Positivism, which arose in philosophy early in the twentieth century, proclaimed the sharp distinction between facts and values. Despite objections at the time, positivism was imported into economics in the 1930s. Over time, objections lessened; economics was transformed and ethical considerations were driven out of its core. In the 1950s, debates about positivism arose within the discipline which had exported it. According to the American philosopher Hilary Putnam, the fact/value distinction is now discredited in philosophy. If that is so, the methodological foundations of contemporary economics are also discredited. In this article I examine Amartya Sen’s moral science of economics. First, I will present his historical account of the connections between economics and ethics. Sen claims that there was a close connection between the two until positivism was imported. Second, I will sketch some of Sen’s ethical objections to modern economics, which is still suffering from positivism. Finally, I will lay out some of his ideas on how economics can be returned to an ethical path. Once the ground has been cleared of positivism, ethics can re-emerge in economics in various ways. One path has been marked out by Sen.Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,
