Adam Smith, simpatía, virtud, sociedad comercial, economía políticaAbstract
El presente artículo se propone explorar los vínculos entre ética y economía en la obra de Adam Smith, tratando de superar la aparente contradicción entre sus dos mayores trabajos: La teoría de los sentimientos morales y La riqueza de las naciones, que diera origen en el siglo XIX a la famosa discusión en torno al Problema de Adam Smith. Lejos de mantener la idea de que ambos trabajos se contradicen, propondremos una interpretación donde la simpatía aparece como un elemento central para explicar el origen de la sociedad comercial que Smith defiende más abiertamente en su famoso tratado de economía política, sin dejar de lado los reparos que el mismo Smith tuviera respecto a las consecuencias morales y sociales provocadas por los patrones culturales promovidos por la sociedad comercial naciente.Downloads
