Adam Smith and ‘The Wealth of Nations’
Read and discuss the works of Adam Smith in this ongoing study group. The group is currently reading Book 4 of Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations'.

The MEP’s recurring series Hegel for Radicals resumes with a seminar on Hegel’s Lectures on Aesthetics, where we will study his understanding of art and literature.
