Re: The Wealth Of Nations is the bankruptcy of Culture

Would you insist that your students questioned everything?

There are certain ideas that a student has to accept; otherwise we can't proceed with the course.

He epitomizes the rat-race that he created in his works.

The "rat-race" is unavoidable.

Re: What are the parameters of a theory?(or a belief)

Does a serious student of Adam Smith have to understand everything that Smith wrote?

I certainly don't feel the need to.

My interaction is with prophex and with the rest of you---not in defending or attacking Adam Smith.

Oh, I thought you were saying that a student needs to question everything.
