Adam Smith Reading Group

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations (1776). To celebrate the occasion, the Adam Smith Reading Group will undertake a slow and careful reading of Smith’s foundational works.

We will spend the Fall quarter reading The Theory of Moral Sentiments and will spend Winter and Spring reading The Wealth of Nations.
