The Preindustrial Economics of Adam Smith
指出《国富论》未承认工业生产事实,其价格分析未考虑工业市场因技术应用带来的单位产出价格下降,并认为斯密的自由放任学说旨在推广一种平等主义的农业资本主义。
The Wealth of Nations does not recognize the fact of industrial production, and its analysis of price does not account for the fundamental feature of industrial markets, falling price per output unit based on exponential growth obtained by technological applications. Smith's laissez-faire doctrine contains distinctive value postulates intended to promulgate an egalitarian agrarian capitalism in the spirit of physiocracy. Criticisms of Smith by Alexander Hamilton, J.-B. Say, Andrew Ure, and Friedrich List are instanced to support the present interpretation.
