Адам Смит: молва и слава
С. 23–58.
The chapter is devoted to the evolving image of Adam Smith in both public and professional perception. It is focused on the factors determining this perception; on the historical conditions that shaped the standard myth of Smith and its impact on the interpretations of the formation and maturing of economics as a science. A new interpretation of Adam Smith's role in the development of theoretical economics is proposed.

The contradiction in Adam Smith’s views on human nature, as outlined in his works published during his lifetime, “The Theory of Moral Sentiments” (1759) and “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” (1776), prompted economists to study the development of the ideas of the Scottish economist. Representatives of the Old ...

Работа посвящена метафоре «невидимой руки», предложенной Адамом Смитом (1723—1790) и ставшей со временем центральным концептом экономической науки. Во второй части рассматриваются происхождение и история восприятия смитовской метафоры на разных этапах развития экономической мысли. Как ни парадоксально, широкую популярность она приобрела только в середине XX в. благодаря упоминанию в учебнике П. Самуэльсона «Экономика». В трактовке смитовской ...

The formation of economics as a science is traditionally referenced to Adam
Smith and presented — even if with reservations — as an ascent from delusions to
true theory, underlying almost all modern schools of economic thought. Despite
the importance of Smith’s Wealth of Nations, such a view does not reflect the real
course of the evolvement of scientific ...
