Adam Smith and The Wealth of Nations

January 9, 2025 (info@democracyatwork.info)

This study group organized by friends at the Marxist Education Project is led by Russell Dale to read and discuss Adam Smith’s An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Smith’s explorations of the s0-called labor theory of value, the rate of profit, what determines commodity prices and other issues provide crucial background for understanding Marx’s critique of political economy. Russell Dale teaches philosophy at Lehman College, CUNY. He was a founding member of the Marxist Education Project and serves on the Editorial Board of the Marxist journal Science & Society.
