Symposium:  The Fate of Anglo-American Capitalism

Is there a future for the robust sort of capitalism favoured by Adam Smith or have we reached a limit to Anglo-American capitalism as the engine of human betterment? Over the last few decades scholars from many points of view have found the basis for a uniquely defensible position in Smith's work.   It is therefore appropriate that the Adam Smith Review proposes a symposium devoted to the theme:  "Is Anglo-American capitalism passing away?"   We are particularly interested in contributions that view current economic events through a lens informed by Smith's teaching on institutions, money and economic growth. Please send proposals and suggestions for contributions to Sandra J. Peart, Dean, Jepson School of Leadership Studies (<mailto:speart@richmond.edu>speart@richmond.edu) by October 1, 2009; full papers to be submitted for refereeing by January 15, 2010.

The Adam Smith Review aims to facilitate debate between scholars working from different disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. It is intended as a resource for Adam Smith scholarship in the widest sense, and the Editor welcomes suggestions and proposals for future developments.
