==================== HES POSTING ====================== In response to Jonathan Mote's queryRevolution, one might try the new book by Donald Winch _Riches and Poverty_ (Cambridge U. Press, 1996). I forget the exact subtitle, but it is something about an intellectual history of political economy ca.1750-1830. Winch has an entire chapter devoted to Smith's views on the North American colonies and on the American Revolution in comparison and contrast with that of Edmund Burke, and throws in comments on Thomas Paine among others to boot.
