Adam Smith’s Account of the Industrial Revolution

Speaker

Jimena Hurtado (Universidad de los Andes)

Description

Adam Smith allows us to think about the Industrial Revolution from a different perspective: not only as a driven by a technological change that transformed and dynamized production, but as a consequence of the sophistication of taste. New forms of consumption, associated with the principles of the human mind, can explain the Industrial Revolution from a consumption point of view.
