Lantern Slides For Engineering Instruction In The Early 20th Century, Jill H. Powell

Part two offers a historical model based on Adam Smith’s Moral Philosophy of such a broader analysis. The piece closes with the case that the history of ideas offers alternative perspectives on the questions we explore in economics today and thus can serve as a valuable resource for …
