The first volume, from 2004, sets the pattern for later issues: articles, a translation, surveys of recent work and a symposium.
Articles
- Richard Sher presents new evidence on the publication and reception of the Wealth of Nations.
- Takashi Negishi relates Smith to disequilibrium economics.
- Ian Simpson Ross studies the “great works upon the anvil” that Smith mentioned in 1785.
- Willie Henderson examines hedging language in the Wealth of Nations.
Translation
Christel Fricke introduces an English translation, by Bernard Schriebl, of Ernst Tugendhat’s essay on universalistically approved attitudes in Smith.
Perspectives
Gloria Vivenza reads Smith in the light of the classics.
Symposium on Economic Sentiments
Ryan Hanley introduces a discussion of Emma Rothschild’s book. Stephen Darwall writes on equal dignity, Patricia Werhane on laissez-faire when it was new, Samuel Fleischacker on ambiguities in Smith, and Rothschild replies.
Reviews
The volume also includes book reviews on Boltanski, Carpenter, Vivenza and Weinstein.
