Abstract:
|
The 'birth' of political economy is often traced to Adam Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment who conceived the economy as a distinct sphere within modern society. This notion is intimately intertwined with our ability to sustain the Scots' division between modern European civilization and the primitive life of Amerindians. It is in this context of a 'conjectural' or 'comparative' historiography that modern understandings of property, commerce, the social and technical division of labor, inequality and poverty are articulated. IPE as heir to Smith and the Scots is informed by the idea of economy as the specific difference between a primitive and modern society and by the theme of economic development as the natural historical erasure of cultural specificity. This paper aims to show how contemporary articulations of international political economy are influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment's construction of otherness. |

Blaney Department of Political Science Macalester College Naeem Inayatullah Department of Politics Ithaca College Working as a touchstone for standard literature in IPE Smith serves as a marker for a "classical liberal school of economics." This `economics' derives from Smith a "shared and coherent set of assumptions" about the drive to truck and barter as the impetus to inevitable and inexorable human material improvement |

An encounter with Smith requires a more careful engagement with his texts and context than is characteristic of much of contemporary political economy.
