This issue is translated from English, with notes and commentary on A. Smith's work "The History of Astronomy," which was written during the period of formation of views on the economy (until 1758) and in which the metaphor of the "invisible hand" (Jupiter) appears for the first time. This essay can be considered as a concentrated expression of the Smith Methodology in the field of natural (and part of the social) sciences

In the world of different tribes, languages and slightly cultivated landscapes, empires through crude violence extended rent concentration scale, with the focus on infrastructure (roads, dumbs, canals), fortifications, cult centers and palaces.

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 ...

Прослеживается, какой смысл вкладывал в эту метафору сам ...

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 ...
