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?".
The Review is particularly interested in contributions that view current economic events through a lens informed by Smith's teaching on institutions, money and economic growth.
