Only Exceptional Proff

Sources that will help your term paper For all the students, keep in mind that I’m assuming you all are relying on the relevant sections and chapters from your textbook in addition to the relevant entries from The New Palgrave. I’m also assuming you’re doing the relevant journal search through JSTOR at the Pfau Library. Given that, here are a few other sources that can help you: Adam Smith:

D.D. Raphael. Adam Smith, London: Oxford University Press, 1985. This is an excellent and easy to read small book. In six short chapters and about 113 pages, Raphael covers the place of Smith in history, his life, his theory on Ethics, Economics, a comparison between the two, and his vision of science and philosophy. This is a wonderful little book and will help you even if you only read one or two chapters (very short).

Daniel R. Fusefeld. The Age of the Economist. There are numerous editions of this small book. It covers a whole range of thinkers, but has one chapter on Smith. An easy read.

Fusefeld, Daniel. The Age of the Economist. Glenview, Illinois: Scott, Foresman and Company, 1977. Chapter on Smith.

Maurice Dobb. Theories of Value and Distribution Since Adam Smith: Ideology and Economic Theory. This is considered a classic text on the history of ideas. But, more importantly, it has a chapter on Smith that takes up no more than 25 pages.
