Is there a future for the robust sort of capitalism favoured by Adam 
Smith or have we reached a limit to Anglo-American capitalism as the 
engine of human betterment?  Over the last few decades scholars from 
many points of view have found the basis for a uniquely defensible 
position in Smith's work.  It is therefore appropriate that the Adam 
Smith Review proposes a symposium devoted to the theme: "Is 
Anglo-American capitalism passing away?"  We are particularly 
interested in contributions that view current economic events through 
a lens informed by Smith's teaching on institutions, money and 
economic growth.  Please send proposals and suggestions for 
contributions to Sandra J. Peart, Dean, Jepson School of Leadership 
Studies

The Adam Smith 
Review 
<http://www.adamsmithreview.org/>http://www.adamsmithreview.org/  is 
a refereed scholarly review published by Routledge and sponsored by 
the International Adam Smith 
Society.

In recent years the ASR has taken its place at the center of Smith 
scholarship in the world, with an international editorial board 
comprised of the most eminent scholars thinking and writing about 
Adam Smith.  The ASR provides a unique forum for vigorous debate and 
the highest standards of scholarship on all aspects of Smith's work, 
his place in history, and the significance of his thought for the 
modern world.  It aims to facilitate discussion among scholars 
working from different disciplinary and theoretical perspectives -- a 
resource for Smith scholarship in the widest sense.
