Adam Smith, 1776-1926: Lectures to Commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the Publication of the Wealth of Nations (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025257266)

"Adam Smith, 1776-1926" is a comprehensive collection of scholarly lectures delivered to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Adam Smith's foundational work, "The Wealth of Nations". Featuring contributions from prominent economists such as John Maurice Clark, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of Smith's intellectual legacy and his profound impact on the development of modern economic thought.

The work examines Smith's theories through various lenses, discussing his views on value, distribution, and the role of the state, as well as the broader philosophical implications of his writings. By evaluating Smith's principles a century and a half after their first appearance, these lectures bridge the gap between 18th-century political economy and early 20th-century economic science. The collection serves as both a historical tribute and a critical exploration of the ideas that established the framework for contemporary capitalism. It is an indispensable resource for scholars of economic history, political science, and the history of ideas, offering lasting insight into the mind of the man often regarded as the father of economics.
