Pufendorf, Hutcheson and Adam Smith: Some Principles of Political Economy

Author

Listed:
  • Skinner, Andrew S

Abstract

This article marks the tercentenary of the birth of Francis Hutcheson (1694-1746). It is divided into three sections. The first part of the argument reviews aspects of Hutcheson's treatment of moral philosophy that are essential to the understanding of the economic analysis. The second section considers Hutcheson's treatment of interrelated topics such as the division of labor, property risks, value, and money--tracing in each case the debt to Samuel Pufendorf. The concluding section explores Adam Smith's possible debts to his teacher, especially with reference to the treatment of value. Copyright 1995 by Scottish Economic Society.
