SMITH AT 300: MEN OF BLESSED AND BEGUILING INGENUITY

Scott Drylie

No 75phv, SocArXiv from Center for Open Science

Abstract: Smith at 300: Contribution by Scott Drylie "Adam Smith’s excellence in the art of belles lettres is well known and is on vivid display in his most memorable quotes, enriching his arguments and augmenting their impact. Sometimes, however, the effects of time obscure his artistry and purpose. The following passage from the Wealth of Nations (WN) is one such example. It contains an overlooked expression of Smith’s liberal vision and serves to encourage further exploration of the relationship between form and substance in his writing."
