Abstract: Smith at 300: Contribution by Aida Ramos "There are three areas of interest to me in discussing this quote. The first is that it is revealing of the social concerns of Smith. The second is that it underscores the remarkable consistency of Smith’s growth theory on the importance of the circulation of capital. The last point is that in its concern for society and social stability, it demonstrates that Smith is in engaged in the science of society as much as his fellow intellectuals, such as Adam Ferguson and Lord Kames, in the Scottish Enlightenment. The three areas mentioned and the passage as a whole evince Smith’s concern with society, justice, and growth and stability, which are three abiding subjects of Scottish Enlightenment inquiry."
