ndrosenReason magazine has been celebrating the great Adam Smith’s 300th birthday, and, together with other articles, has published an interview with Adam Smith — not the eighteenth century Adam Smith, who could not be contacted by ouija board, but a modern economist whose name is Adam C. Smith.
Some years ago, I got an email from an Amherst College student named Adam Smith, presumably not an Econ major, who requested my help in getting an internship at the Patent Office. I had a word with my then-supervisor, a Smith whose first name isn’t Adam, and advised the student on where to send his resume.
One of these days, I should probably read the famous Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments; from some quotations I’ve seen, it appears to have been thoughtful.
