Abstract: Abstract Between Smith and Ricardo there is a period of transition characterised by important changes both in the main economic themes and in the way of analysing them. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars left a deep mark on economic debates. England was horrified by the events of the French Revolution and by the period of the so called ‘terror’, especially the beheading of Louis XVI. In his Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) Edmund Burke put forward an interpretation of Smith designed to oppose the thought of the author of the Wealth of Nations to the liberal and radical views of the revolutionary leaders. The economic debates during the final decade of the eighteenth century are succinctly described in Winch (1996, especially chapters 5 and 7).
