Adam Smith: An Historical Perspective on the Wealth of Nations
In 1976 Bob Black delivered a lecture on the subject of ‘Smith’s Contribution in Historical Perspective’. The lecture was delivered on the occasion of the bicentenary conference held in Glasgow, and published in the same year. Black recalled that his brief was to review the ways in which Smith as an economist had been evaluated at various points in history, making the valid, but disturbing, point, that economists had tended to see Smith in the light generated by their own current pre-occupations, in terms of both policy and analysis (1976, p 62)
