1/2 "Bohatstvo národov patrí medzi klasiku, obsahuje trvalé myšlienky a náhľady fungovania spoločnosti. Na druhej strane je smutné, že keď knihu otvoríme, máme pocit, že reaguje na včerajšie noviny. Vyzerá to tak, že ľudstvo je nepoučiteľné a mýty, s ktorými Smith bojoval pred 250 rokmi, sa stále vracajú."

Už 250 rokov robíme tie isté chyby, pred ktorými nás Adam Smith varoval, vraví profesor ekonómie

Škótsky morálny filozof Adam Smith pravdepodobne netušil, že raz bude považovaný za zakladateľa ekonómie ako samostatnej vednej disciplíny. Presne pred 250 rokmi, 9. marca 1776, vydal svoje Pojednanie o podstate a pôvode bohatstva národov, známe aj ako Bohatstvo národov, ktoré sa stalo „ekonomickou bibliou“. Takmer tisícstranový spis priniesol podrobný návod…

They link to this list of choice Adam Smith quotes like this:

"Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality. For ​one very rich ​man, there must ⁠be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many."
"All for ourselves, ​and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of ​the world, ⁠to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind."

De #AdamSmith, en "La riqueza de las naciones" (1776): "Tan pronto como la tierra de cualquier país se convierte toda ella en propiedad privada, los terratenientes, como todos los demás hombres, desean cosechar donde nunca sembraron, y exigen una renta hasta por el producto natural del suelo".

Sus herederos se les debería caer la cara de vergüenza. Si la tuviesen, claro.

Vor 250 Jahren erschien #AdamSmith’ #WealthOfNations. Vor drei Jahren schrieb anlässlich seines Geburtstages bei Soziopolis einen Essay. Es wundert nicht, dass ich auch sein Hauptwerk diskutiere und einordne, mit #Marx und #Foucault https://www.soziopolis.de/die-leidenschaft-am-eigeninteresse.html

On this day, 250 years ago, Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith laid the first groundwork for classical economics with his magnum opus, The Wealth of Nations, which challenged the prevailing European attitude favoring mercantilism. A full copy can be read on Wikisource (https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations).

“not only is there no invocation of the free market […Smith] plainly sees that government, not private industry, is the only force capable of effectively ‘erecting and maintaining’ the technically unprofitable but nevertheless indispensable ‘publick works’ and ‘publick institutions’”

(Invisible) Hand Over Fist: On the Development and Legacy of Adam Smith's Famous Phrase - The Bottle Imp

‘The invisible hand’ is probably the most recognizable catchphrase of economic talk today. Invoked by supporters of capitalism, it insists upon the essential wisdom and naturalness of allowing financial decisions to be made by unfettered market forces rather than by individual or institutional actors; as U.S. presidential hopeful Mitt Romney liked to tell his supporters […]

Scottish economist #AdamSmith published one of his key works, short-titled #TheWealthOfNations, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1776. More so-called capitalists should read this text, as they would find Smith & Marx shared much, and #neoliberals would recognize little of their own views.

#AdamSmith gilt als #Begründer der #modernen #Ökonomie. Doch das #Sinnbild der „#unsichtbaren_Hand_des_Marktes“ ist zu #Unrecht zum #Synonym seiner #Philosophie geworden. Vor 250 Jahren veröffentlichte er sein #Hauptwerk „#Der_Wohlstand_der_Nationen“.

Warum Adam Smith noch immer als radikaler Fürsprecher des neoliberalen Marktes missverstanden wird

Wegen des Sinnbilds der „unsichtbaren Hand des Marktes“ wurde Adam Smith oft missverstanden. Er wollte aber nicht bloß ein Loblied auf den Kapitalismus singen.

Europe’s empires in America had their origins, Smith wrote, in “folly and injustice,” the thirst for gold that led the conquistadors to Mexico and Peru. Smith thought British colonies to be the best of a bad lot, “only somewhat less illiberal and oppressive than that of any of the rest.” Elsewhere he called the imperial system “invidious and malignant,” a waste of money.
