Regulation, intervention and regressive taxation in The Wealth of Nations.
This article adresses several popular misconceptions of Adam Smith's ideas presented in The Wealth of nations. One misconception is that Smith was a strict, dogmatic advocate of laissez-faire capitalism. The article demonstrates that this is not true ; it discusses many of the exceptions which Smith made to strict laissez-faire. The article also points out that Smith was not explicitly against general state aid to the poor, and that Smith was not in favor of regressive taxation. Instsead, Smith favored proportional or perhaps mildly progressive taxes. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
