But let's remember that the culprit is the motivated ideological INTERPRETATION of Smith.
If we actually read Smith we find that the "Enronization" of society was precisely his
primary concern. Jerry Evenski & others have developed this point over the past decade &
should feel vindicated today.
 
In general I find that the best tool to explore the "badlands" between professional
economic discourse & its lay (popular & political) translation can best be addressed with
rhetorical analysis. Many have expressed doubts concerning the usefulness of all these "
cultural-studies" in economics (rhetoric, postmodernism, etc.). It seems to me those
doubts have proven misplaced in this day & age.
