![]() ![]() ![]() He has thought out a number of problems which were raised by Adam Smith, but Adam Smith did not quite arrive at the kind of precision and logical consistencies–what I think John Stuart Mill achieved and utilitarianism achieved. We better start with Adam Smith because not only precedes him in time, but a number of ideas are more mature in John Stuart Mill. And I actually figured out that I was, by the way, wrong doing the syllabus and putting John Stuart Mill after Adam Smith. As I said, out of the fifty lectures I give this semester, there is only one which is the same in the two courses. So anyway, my apologies to those who take Varieties of Capitalism. ![]() ![]() Okay? So I’ll just go through question by question and will show you where I see the dilemmas are and how I see it to be engaged. And what I would like to do Tuesday, to take the questions, and what I will do for you, I will show how I would answer the questions. And then I will move on to John Stuart Mill and finish John Stuart Mill Tuesday, sort of midway of the class. So I will bore the hell out of those of you who are in Varieties of Capitalism, because this lecture was given there, but it was a full class. So I decided that I will start today with Adam Smith, and I will spend roughly about half of the class on Adam Smith. I do make this adjustment to make the test more enjoyable for you. Well I made some adjustment today to the syllabus, and I hope you don’t mind. Professor Iván Szelényi: Good morning again.
