Lecture 2: Adam Smith and the Origins of Classical Economics 

I'm almost certain one of the students who responds to professor Sheikh's questions is Isabella Weber. If you can confirm, I'd appreciate it. Her book on China's economy was fantastic!

Note: for those interested, the book professor Shaikh refers to around 29:00 on the history of currencies is called "A Survey of Primitive Monies" by Alison Quiggin. Although the book is not available on Amazon, the Amazon page for this book on 10/12/19 is: www.amazon.com/dp/0389040495/?coliid=I21194ESWKURKX&colid=3AACZVMJT49BF&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

34:00: Me always late to the class.

We didnt find the part of this class after break.please

Another question here is what is the labor of the bandits in Seven Samurai? Is that productive or nonproductive from their point of view? 😊

Is there a second part of this lecture?
