A virtual event from Kirk Center is coming up in July, on Adam Smith:
https://kirkcenter.org/upcoming-events-schedule/Although Adam Smith is best known as the father of modern economics, his economic thought sits within a wider enterprise of moral philosophy. Smith’s writings on commerce and his recommendations in public policy build upon his effort to promote a social and political order that protects liberty and human flourishing.
Russell gave a speech at The Heritage Foundation in the early 1980s arguing that Smith ably “described and defended those beliefs and institutions that maintain the beneficent tension of order and freedom.” Our seminar will explore this aspect of Smith’s thought and legacy.
The course will be led by Dr. Erik Matson, Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center and Deputy Director of the Adam Smith Program at George Mason University. There are few scholars in America better suited to guiding this discussion of the moral philosophy and political economy of Adam Smith than Dr. Matson.
From President Annette Kirk.
