Life of Adam Smith (Classic Reprint) by R. B. Haldane Pdf

Excerpt from Life of Adam Smith The economist possesses a certain advantage over the metaphysician and the man of letters. His department of knowledge is not Old enough to have had periods of want of progress, and even Of backward movement. He has not to torment himself by Observing how much less the Greeks were embarrassed by conceptions, such as that Of the distinction of subject and Object, which today hinder us by thrusting themselves with irresistible force upon philosopher and man of letters alike. His is an unbroken history Of advances in the direction of in tellectual freedom. It is with the name of Adam Smith that the most important of these advances are associated. His work was something more than the overthrow of the agricultural and mercantile systems, and the extirpa tion of certain subtle prejudices derived from the doctrines of these systems by persons who did not in terms profess them. He threw the lessons Of modern political economy into a systematic form, and thereby left them advanced a stage in their development.

Adam Smith by J. A. Farrer Pdf

Excerpt from Adam Smith: 1723-1790 Commence the work of constructing their own. Of this work of destruction little will be found in these volumes; we propose to lay stress on what a Philosopher did rather than on what he undid. In the summary'will be found a general survey of the main criticisms that have been passed upon the views of the Philosopher who forms the subject of the work, and in the bibliographic appendix the reader will be directed to sources of more detailed criticism than the size and nature of the volumes in the Series would permit. The lives of Philosophers are not, as a rule, eventful, the biographies will consequently be brief. It is hoped that the Series, when complete, will supply a comprehensive History of English Philosophy. It.

The Theory of Value Before Adam Smith (Classic Reprint) by Hannah Robie Sewall Pdf

Excerpt from The Theory of Value Before Adam Smith The Greeks, in common with most ancient peoples, had no conception of rational laws governing the phe nomena of the distribution of wealth. They studied human conduct to discover a man's duty, or to ascer tain what kind of actions constituted noble lives, rather than to know the ultimate relations of all actions. Their object was practical rather than theoretical, and questions of economic relations were Closely connected in their minds with questions of right and wrong, with problems of justice.

Economic Studies (Classic Reprint) by Walter Bagehot Pdf

Excerpt from Economic Studies Adam smith completed the Wealth of Nations in 1776, and our English Political Economy is there fore just a hundred years Old. In that time it has had a wonderful effect. The life Of almost every one in England - perhaps Of every one - is different and better in consequence Of it. The whole com mercial policy Of the country is not so much founded on it as instinct with it. Ideas which are paradoxes everywhere else in the world are accepted axioms here as results Of it. NO other form Of political philosophy has ever had one thousandth part Of the influence on us; its teachings have settled down into the common sense Of the nation, and have become irreversible.

Life of Dr. Adam Smith (Classic Reprint) by William Draper Pdf

Excerpt from Life of Dr. Adam Smith There may have been biographers who have carried their passion for detail and minute anecdote somewhat too far, but even in such cases we feel it is rather ungrateful to condemn them; and we might take the very extreme of this class, even Boswell himself, with all his faults, and almost challenge the world to pro duce another book of biography of equal interest with the Life of Johnson.

A Short History of Political Economy in England, from Adam Smith to Arnold Toynbee (Classic Reprint) by L. L. Price Pdf

Excerpt from A Short History of Political Economy in England, From Adam Smith to Arnold Toynbee In this critical estimate an attempt is made to express the general drift of subsequent Opinion rather than the particular views of the writer of this history, which does not put forward any pretensions to originality. The author has freely used all the sources of information and instruction which he has been able to discover; and, although he has embraced every opportunity, which seemed naturally to present itself without burdening the notes, of acknowledging his special indebted ness to particular authorities on certain points, he is under a general obligation which can only be fittingly discharged in apreface. He is indebted to all who have in any way, by commentary on the great writers of the past, or independent development of their theories, helped to elucidate the history of a branch of knowledge of which England may perhaps claim to be the classic home, although she has often, and more especially of recent times, experienced the benefits of suggestion and criticism at the hands of foreign writers.
