We explore the conjecture, first hinted at by Peter Minowitz, that Smith deliberately placed his central idea, as represented by the phrase ‘led by an invisible hand’, at the physical centre of his masterworks. The four most significant points developed are as follows: (1) The physical evidence: the expression ‘led by an invisible hand’ occurs pretty much dead centre of the 1st and 2nd editions of The Wealth of Nations (WN), and of the final edition of the tomes containing The Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS). (2) The rhetoric lectures show that Smith not only was conscious of deliberate placement of potent words at the centre, but thought it significant enough to remark on to his pupils, noting that Thucydides ‘often expresses all that he labours so much in a word or two, sometimes placed in the middle of the narration’. (3) The invisible‐hand paragraphs in TMS and WN both contend with Rousseau and hearken back to the Rousseau passages that Smith had translated and provided in his 1756 article on literature. (4) There are numerous and rich ways in which centrality and middleness hold special and positive significance in Smith's thought. 相似文献

We previously showed that ‘led by an invisible hand’ was physically central in original editions of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations. We suggested that Adam Smith did that deliberately. Three authors commented on our paper, Gavin Kennedy, Ryan Hanley and Craig Smith. In this article we reply to their comments. 相似文献

Karl Mittermaier (1938–2016) completed a work in 1987 titled The Hand Behind the Invisible Hand: Dogmatic and Pragmatic Views on Free Markets and the State of Economic Theory, published for the first time in 2020. Here I treat Mittermaier's rich meditation, which I interpret as a pursuit of greater coherence in classical liberal thought. Mittermaier emphasises the moral, cultural, and institutional preconditions of a liberal market order, and argues that some of the preconditions depend on people feeling that they have reason to embrace such classical liberal principles. The preconditions, then, depend in part on the perception of coherence and appeal of the liberal order. 相似文献

This article draws on textual evidence from The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations to address mistaken interpretations of Adam Smith's fundamental concept of self-interest as greed that has been said to have had a corrosive influence on markets, commercial behaviour, and widening inequality. To the contrary, Smith's complex set of human motivations, including self-interest, his economic system that is based on free markets, and institutional frameworks governing productive property rights and the rule of law are argued to increase aggregate wealth, improve the position of those least well off, and maintain ethical social order. 相似文献

This article interprets F. A. Hayek as having been constrained by the statism and modernism of his times, and as writing in a way that obscured some of his central ideas. I suggest that between the lines we can see a focus on liberty understood hardily as others not messing with one's stuff– even though Hayek in The Constitution of Liberty defined liberty in ways that tended to obscure this hardy definition, and Hayek often used code words like ‘competition,’‘the market,’ and ‘spontaneous’ where ‘liberty’ or ‘freedom’ would have been plainer, albeit more offensive to the culture. Seeing the hardy definition of liberty between the lines in Hayek enables us to see his focus on the liberty principle and his case for a presumption of liberty. Such a reading of Hayek, I suggest, is true to Adam Smith, who expounded a central message that by and large the liberty principle holds, and that it deserves the presumption in our culture and politics. 相似文献

As the 2014 referendum on whether Scotland should become an independent country approaches, there is increasing debate about the nature and advantages of the relationship between Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. This paper seeks to examine the views on the Union between Scotland and England that are found in the writings of the main figures of the eighteenth century Scottish Enlightenment. It examines the arguments that Scotland's most famous social and political thinkers, such as David Hume and Adam Smith, put forward in favour of union with England and uses them to inform the contemporary debate. 相似文献

隐喻是一种认知现象,是人们思维和认识事物的工具。所以对于隐喻的理解一直是心理语言学和相关学科的研究重点。本文在介绍隐喻的基本概念和不同分类的基础上,探讨了目前关于隐喻理解过程的两种解释,并在此基础上提出文化是影响隐喻理解的重要因素。最后从文化重叠,文化差异,文化空缺等方面进一步深入探讨了文化对理解隐喻的影响,并指出在日常的教学中应有意识地培养学生从跨文化的角度理解隐喻,从而提高学生的跨文化交际能力。 相似文献

This paper shows that the marginal value of a “small amount of non-output information” is generally non-positive in the context
of the standard principal-agent model involving moral hazard, which suggests a non-concavity in the value of information.
However, when both the principal and the agent are risk neutral, even a small amount of non-output information may exhibit
a positive incremental value in presence of a liability constraint.

工程报价是承包商的一项基本工作,它在很大程度上决定承包商能否中标和中标后的盈亏水平.在实际工作中,采用的方法有定额法和实物法2种,其中最能反映工程实际所消耗成本的计价方法是实物法.实物法能直观准确地把工程将要消耗的各种费用和盈利水平表现出来.在国际工程还没有定额规范的时代,实物法已经逐渐成为企业竞逐国际市场的报价方法.文章讨论了如何在投标报价中灵活地运用实物法. 相似文献

基于跨期替代资产选择理论，本文建立了一个较为符合我国实际的模型，并结合相关经济数据将其用于分析我国消费增长问题。发现：（1）提高跨期替代弹性是解决我国消费不足问题的关键；（2）通过减少个体风险偏好或提高其对社会地位的重视程度来增加消费的方法在理论上并不可行；（3）通过减少贫富差距来减少社会地位因素受重视程度，可能对刺激消费有一定作用。 相似文献
