  • The Street Porter and the Philosopher

    Conversations on Analytical Egalitarianism

    Adam Smith, asserting the common humanity of the street porter and the philosopher, articulated the classical economists' model of social interactions as exchanges among equals.

  • Towards an Economics of Natural Equals

    A Documentary History of the Early Virginia School

    by David M. Levy, Sandra J. Peart ...

Politics becomes an act of exchange among equals where the economist is only entitled to offer advice to citizens, not to dictators. ... Read more

  • Maternal Overprotection

    Extract of essential statements

    by David M. Levy ...
    Series Book 23 - REdition Schmidt
    Authors who, from today's perspective and in the face of current research, were far ahead of their time were often misunderstood or simply ignored by their contemporaries. And even if an excerpt from an extensive work is always subjective, it still offers a middle ground between subsuming under a catchphrase on the one hand, and intensive preoccupation with the work on the other.

  • The Hesitant Hand

    Taming Self-Interest in the History of Economic Ideas

    by Steven G. Medema ...

The Hesitant Hand examines how subsequent economic thinkers have challenged or reaffirmed Smith's doctrine, some contending that society needs government to ... Read more

  • Greed, Lust and Gender

    A History of Economic Ideas

    by Nancy Folbre ...
    When does the pursuit of self-interest go too far, lapsing into morally unacceptable behaviour?
