Theory of Society

The Institute for the Study of Political Economy will welcome Vernon Smith, Nobel Laureate in Economics (2002), on Wednesday, October 9, at 5:00 p.m. in AJ 175. His lecture, “Theory of Society,” will shed light on Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments, offering fresh context and clarity on the 18th-century classic. Dr. Smith will connect these ideas to contemporary issues, making the work relevant for today’s economists, social scientists, and philosophers.
