Abstract

It is a difficult task to narrow down a favorite passage from a body of work as rich as that of Adam Smith. One of the things that has always amused me about Smith is his use of Scottish examples to make universal points. In one of these he launches himself into the long-running rivalry between Scotland’s two major cities: Edinburgh and Glasgow. Smith lived for a time in both cities and worked on what would become the Wealth of Nations in what were then, as now, two very different cities. In The Wealth of Nations he makes use of this to develop a classic example of Smithian social theory.

斯密在300年:亚当·斯密在爱丁堡和格拉斯哥
从像亚当·斯密这样丰富的作品中找出一段最喜欢的段落是一项艰巨的任务。史密斯一直让我感到好笑的一点是,他用苏格兰的例子来提出普遍的观点。在其中一场比赛中,他开始了苏格兰两大城市爱丁堡和格拉斯哥之间的长期竞争。史密斯曾在这两个城市生活过一段时间,并在当时和现在两个截然不同的城市从事后来成为《国富论》的工作。在《国富论》中,他利用这一点发展了史密斯社会理论的一个经典例子。
