Click Here to Register for this Adam Smith Institute Webinar

We just celebrated the 245th anniversary of the publication of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, one of the most important books ever written.

Smith revolutionised our understanding of commerce. He explained how trade enriches our lives and his works laid the foundations of a whole new field of study: economics.

But how do we view Smith's works and the larger Scottish Enlightenment in the 21st Century? Do we take for granted the foundation Smith and his contemporaries laid which allowed us to build our free and prosperous society?

Join a panel of Smith experts to talk about the pioneer economist’s relevance for today — including statues, slavery, empire, free speech, culture, community and identity.

Guests:

Dr Eamonn Butler, Adam Smith Institute (Host)
Professor Daniel B Klein, George Mason University
Professor Jimena Hurtado, Universidad de los Andes
Professor Craig Smith (no relation), University of Glasgow
