ONLINE: "Adam Smith & The Wealth of Nations" Part 3

This is the Saturday afternoon meeting for Socrates Cafe. It's online. We meet every 2 weeks on Saturday.

Socrates Cafe is hosting a new series on Adam Smith, the Scottish philosopher and economist. His book, "The Wealth of Nations" (1776) is a foundational work that was popular in its day and is still popular today. It explores nations and their economies, wages and growth, resources and competition, plus many other economic theories. We'll also review the influence of technology in the 21st century. Please join StoicDan and Robert this Saturday for "Adam Smith & The Wealth of Nations". Part 1 (7-02), Part 2 (7-16), and Part 3 (7-30).

MEETING FORMAT

The presentation is about 15 minutes (recorded), and then an open discussion will follow (not recorded). You don't need to read any materials in advance.
