Adam Smith, Prophet of Law and Economics
本文论证亚当·斯密在法律经济学中的重要地位，指出其《法理学讲义》中的见解和分析技巧对20世纪末法律经济学学者的贡献，并强调经济论证在其正义理论中的核心作用。
Law and economics scholars do not normally identify Adam Smith as an important figure in the field. However, his Lectures on Jurisprudence contain a wealth of insights and analytical techniques that law and economics scholars of the late 20th century would repeat. This paper argues for Smith’s place in law and economics, identifying some of his most important arguments and emphasizing their contributions to legal theory. It also argues that economic arguments play a central role in Smith’s theory of justice. Indeed, Smith’s jurisprudence provides an important bridge between his moral and economic theories.
