'The Wealth of Nations', coming at a point when 'natural liberty' was being being widely debated, had a decisive influence both on the study of national economy and on the freeing of economic policy from the artificial restraint of the mercantilist system. Smith's statement that labour is the source of a nation's commodities and that the variation in 'stock' values are due to the interaction of wages, profits and rent, formulated the doctrine of the classic school of economic thought, and round it all modern economic discussion has revolved' (PMM).

brossura Il saggio su Adam Smith accoglie la tesi dominante che la sua celeberrima "Indagine sulla ricchezza delle nazioni" sia la bibbia del liberismo, ma afferma che questo lavoro non possa essere interpretato indipendentemente dalla considerazione di un altro celebre scritto dello stesso autore intitolato "Teoria dei sentimenti morali". Carlo Scognamiglio Pasini sostiene la tesi secondo cui comprendere il pensiero di Adam Smith significa cogliere il nesso profondo che esiste tra economia ed etica, aspetti non disgiunti nell'ambito della convivenza sociale. L'egoismo di Smith non può, perciò, essere considerato un elemento disgregatore della società quanto, piuttosto, un fattore di ordine e di sviluppo. I meccanismi di mercato agiscono come una "mano invisibile" che guida l'economia nella ricerca del benessere collettivo. Un ulteriore Momento d'Oro dell'Economia suddiviso in due parti. Nella prima, la biografia di Adam Smith, l'analisi del contesto economico e culturale in cui ha operato, la nascita e gli sviluppi della scienza economica. La seconda parte contiene, invece, una selezione antologica di passi significativi tratti da "Indagine sulla natura e le cause della ricchezza delle nazioni" (1776) e "La teoria dei sentimenti morali" (1759).

ill. Il 28 febbraio 1621, dopo una lunga malattia contratta quando era ancora giovanissimo, il granduca Cosimo II de' Medici si spegneva all'età di appena trenta anni. La fine improvvisa del suo governo fu percepita come il tramonto di una stagione fortunata per la cultura e le arti, caratterizzata da un mecenatismo di vasto e lungimirante respiro. Colto e raffinato amatore d'arte, Cosimo aveva infatti incrementato le collezioni medicee e favorito il rinnovamento dell'ambiente artistico fiorentino, anche attraverso nuove sollecitazioni stilistiche d'oltralpe. Questo spiega la ricerca da parte sua di un'opera come l'altarolo con le Storie della Vera Croce di Adam Elsheimer, raffinato pittore tedesco attivo nella prima metà del XVII secolo. L'opera, composta da piccoli dipinti su argento, era uscito dalle collezioni granducali attraverso un dono e, scomposto, era stato venduto sul mercato antiquario; oggi, grazie agli sforzi dello Stadel Museum, l'altarolo è stato ricomposto e montato all'interno di una cornice che restituisce all'opera la sua forma originale.
