ABSTRACT

This paper is the first of a two-part investigation of a topic that has received little attention: the relationships between Keynes and Smith in economic theory and policy. Due to its wide scope and the need for careful discussion of primary sources, two papers are presented. Part I focuses on Keynes and examines all his remarks concerning Smith to address two central questions. Did Keynes classify Smith as a ‘classical economist’ and hence as an exponent of the views he rejected? And how was Smith, and the ‘invisible hand’, treated in Keynes’s writings from 1910 to 1946? The second paper focuses on Smith, and the parallels between the economic arguments of these master-economists.

摘要

本文是对一个很少受到关注的主题的两部分调查中的第一篇：凯恩斯和史密斯在经济理论和政策方面的关系。由于其范围广泛并且需要仔细讨论主要来源，因此提出了两篇论文。第一部分关注凯恩斯，并审查他关于史密斯的所有评论，以解决两个核心问题。凯恩斯是否将史密斯归类为“古典经济学家”，因此是他拒绝的观点的代表？凯恩斯在 1910 年到 1946 年的著作中是如何对待史密斯和“看不见的手”的？第二篇论文侧重于史密斯，以及这些经济学家的经济论点之间的相似之处。
