Adam Smith, Then and Now
The International Adam Smith Society issues a call for papers for a meeting to be held at Universidad del CEMA, Buenos Aires, 30 June – 3 July 2027.
2026 marked 250 years since the publication of The Wealth of Nations — a book that engaged with its time and still speaks to ours. Smith stands as a hinge figure: the point where Enlightenment thought opens onto modernity, and the seed from which the social sciences grew. From the workings of markets to questions of finance and macroeconomics, Smith’s inquiry laid the ground for much of how we still think about economic life. Taking this anniversary as our starting point, this conference, held in 2027, invites reflection on Smith’s ideas and their relevance to the pressing issues of our own time. The conference offers a unique interdisciplinary opportunity to revisit one of the most influential texts in modern intellectual history. Beyond this, we welcome papers which focus on Smith’s work as a whole, on Adam Smith, and the legacy of Smithian ideas, in the widest sense, in philosophy, politics, and economics.
