Re: [Marxism] Interview with China's Wen

["farmelantj@xxxxxxxx" <farmelantj@xxxxxxxx>]

An interesting choice of reading matter on
the Chinese premier's part.

Marxmail and Marxism-Thaxis member,Dogan  Gocmen,
has written a book on Adam Smith that attempts to
analyze the relationship between Smith's
*Wealth of Nations* and his *The Theory of
Moral Sentiments*.  See:

An eclectic reader, Mr Wen says that when he travels he always carries a copy 
of The Theory of Moral Sentiments by Adam Smith, the Scottish economist, which 
lays out the moral underpinnings for governing societies â and market 
economies.

âAdam Smith wrote that in a society if all the wealth is concentrated and 
owned by only a small number of people, it will not be stable,â he says. It 
is an observation that holds just as well for the crisis-ridden US as it does 
for China, with its skewed model of development and rising inequality.
