Yo, I have posted to SSRN a preprint of my new paper “Adam Smith and the ‘Absurd Prescriptions’ of Doctors“, which surveys Smith’s documented encounters with the doctors and medical treatments of his day. (Full disclosure: I did not use any A.I. whatsoever to research or write my paper.) Also, starting soon, I will begin blogging about another aspect of the celebrated political economist’s life: his paradoxical stint as one of Scotland’s Commissioners of Customs, where his central and sole duty was to enforce the very same mercantilist laws he so vehemently and justly denounced in The Wealth of Nations.
