in the first ages of society

Gavin Kennedy

Chapter 2 in Adam Smith, 2008, pp 27-46 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Though Smith’s books and essays were published sequentially, and Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations were revised, his intellectual creativity was reflected across the different subjects in his books more or less in parallel. Smith cross-traversed among his subjects much like a chef moving from pot to pot, tasting until he is satisfied. Towards the end of his life he reported that he still had important unfinished work for ‘two other great works upon the anvil’ (Corr286).
