John Adam Street [Adelphi development]
No full textNumber 8 John Adam Street (Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce), detail, medallion; Adam House (7-10 John Adam Street) is part of the Adelphi development designed in 1768-1772 by brothers Robert and John Adam. In addition to individual town houses, Robert Adam engaged in a number of urban-planning schemes. He often introduced varied shapes, including squares, crescents and circuses, although his long terraces of juxtaposed houses or unified façades on the sides of a square were more common. For these, he took the principles of his individual town-house compositions and adapted them to large and more complex groupings, often applying the delicate ornamentation in Liardet’s cement. The grandest of Adam’s schemes was the Adelphi, built on leased land between the Strand and the Thames. He embanked the Thames, raising the Royal Terrace’s houses (destroyed) above vaulted warehouses that he hoped the Government would lease. For this, and for the rest of this H-shaped development, he employed his favourite decorative elements, but in a composition without an obvious central emphasis. Though aesthetically satisfying, the Adelphi was a failure financially for the brothers. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 7/17/2010
Adam Smith on public expenditure and taxation
No full textThis 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
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,

“Das adam Smith Problem” - uma análise comparativa das obras a teoria dos sentimentos morais e a riqueza das nações de Adam Smith
No full textTCC (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
