| Abstract | Adam Smith has advocated laissez-faire: however, many of Smith’s interpreters have pointed out that Smith discusses several exceptions to laissez-faire. Most of the important exceptions are not in Lectures on Jurisprudence (LJ); rather, they first appear in The Wealth of Nations (WN). These references seem to reflect a conscious shift in Smith’s policy principle from laissez-faire with small government to state intervention under big government. To compare small government with big, i.e. laissez-faire with government intervention, we must historically distinguish between two types of government intervention. The older type predated laissez-faire and included feudal governments, absolute governments and mercantilism, whereas the newer type includes various primitive forms of modern social or welfare states. Smith’s primary purpose in LJ is to criticise the older type of big government. In WN, he criticises the older big government in Books I, III and IV and promotes a newer type of government intervention in Books II and V, particularly regarding three important fields. First, he proposes regulating banking and financial markets in Book II of WN. Second, in contrast to LJ, where he gave little attention to public works and institutions, he considers them among the government’s three major duties in Book V of WN. Third, Smith drastically changes his views on taxation. He argues that they should be as light as possible in LJ, but in Book V of WN, he insists on increasing land taxes and abolishing taxes on necessaries; he also recommends introducing progressive taxes and abolishing regressive ones to achieve income redistribution. This paper considers the shifts in Smith’s position from endorsing the laissez-faire role of government in LJ to promoting government intervention in WN, particularly regarding financial regulation, public works and institutions and taxation. |

| Abstract | スミスの主著のフルタイトルは『諸国民の富の性質と諸原因の研究』であり，かれが富の諸原因の考察を自著の中心主題としていたことは明らかである。しかしスミスが何を富の原因と考えたか，そもそも富の原因がいくつあると考えたかについては，これまで十分に明確にされていない。本稿は『国富論』の母体となった『法学講義』（Bノート）の行政論と『国富論』の理論構成を比較考察することを通じて，『法学講義』行政論で論じられている富裕の５原因が『国富論』第１～５編の各編に継承されたことを明らかにする。 |

| Title Alternative | Adam Smith's Criticism of James Steuart's Theory of Banking |
| FullText URL | oer_032_4_161_174.pdf |
| Author | Niimura, Satoshi| |
| Abstract | This paper considered why and how Adam Smith criticized James Steuart's theory of Banking. In Lectures on Jurisprudence Adam Smith had a quite optimistic view about the stableness of banking system. But after the financial crisis in Scotland in 1760s and 1770s, especially the bankrupt of the Ayr Bank in 1772, Smith changed his early optimistic view of banking system. In Wealth of Nations Smith criticized Steuart's theory of banking, because Smith thought that its influence might be one of the major causes of the bankrupt of the Ayr Bank and the financial crisis in Scotland in 1772. |

| Title Alternative | Keynesian Issues in Adam Smith : Aggregate Demand and Financial Instability |
| FullText URL | oer_035_2_027_035.pdf |
| Author | Niimura, Satoshi| |
| Abstract | 一般にケインズの対極に位置すると考えられているアダム・スミスは，総需要不足と金融不安定性の問題をめぐって，現代の新古典派よりもむしろケインズやケインズ派に近い考え方をしていた。スミスはステュアートのように金融・財政政策を通じた総需要拡大を主張しなかったが，そのことはスミスが総需要の問題を考慮しなかったことを意味するわけではない。スミスは，重商主義政策の撤廃による自由で効率的な資本と労働の配分が，労働需要の増加と賃金の上昇を通じて大衆的消費需要を拡大し，さらに自由貿易政策による貿易の拡大も総需要を拡大すると考えていた。またスミスは，エア銀行の破綻処理の経験を通じて金融市場の不安定性を認識し，金融システムの安定化のためには銀行の自由競争だけでは不十分であって，政府による一定の法的規制と銀行の企業モラルの改革が必要であると考えるようになったのである。 |
