From the History of Astronomy to the Wealth of Nations: Wonderful Wheels and Invisible Hands in Adam Smith’s Major Works

Francesco Luna

Chapter 8 in Inflation, Institutions and Information, 1996, pp 131-153 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Adam Smith’s works are particularly dear to Axel Leijonhufvud. Well before the spreading interest in endogenous growth, Professor Leijonhufvud revived ‘an old parable, Adam Smith’s theory of manufacturing production, which has been shunted aside and neglected because it has not fitted into the formal structure of either neo-classical or neo-Ricardian theory’.1
