What the right gets wrong about Adam Smith

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, June 15, 2023

Everyone wants to claim the Scottish philosopher and economist as one of their own.

Key Points: 
  • Everyone wants to claim the Scottish philosopher and economist as one of their own.
  • With the exception of Jesus, it’s hard to think of anyone who attracts such radically different interpretations.
  • What we know is that he was born in the town of Kirkcaldy on the east coast of Scotland.
  • Certain landowners were exempt from Kirkcaldy’s bridge tolls and market stall charges due to the town’s status as a royal burgh.

The Wealth of Nations

    • The two books that Smith published in his lifetime are The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and his more widely known, An Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776).
    • It viewed economic value simply in terms of the amount of gold that a country had to buy the goods it needs.
    • Larry Fink, head of investment giant BlackRock, has only just been arguing that artificial intelligence could improve productivity, for instance.

The battleground

    • Smith argues that slavery and feudalism are bad and that economic growth and getting people out of poverty are good.
    • He also warns against things like cronyism, corporate corruption of politics, imperialism, inequality and the exploitation of workers.
    • Those on the right of the debate often cite Smith’s “invisible hand” phrase from the Wealth of Nations in support of their worldview.
    • It is a metaphor for how a “free” market magically brings buyers and sellers together without any need for government involvement.

States and abuses

    • The truth is that Smith’s writing has enough ideas and inconsistencies to allow for all sides to cherry pick references as required.
    • This is linked to the fact that Smith was writing at a time when the British East India Company was responsible for a staggering 50% of world trade.
    • It operated under a royal charter conferring a monopoly of English trade in the whole of Asia and the Pacific.
    • Innovation and competition would provide employment, keep prices down and help reduce the appalling levels of urban poverty of the time.
