My guest today is Gustav Peebles: professor of economic anthropology at The New School, and author of an explosive essay that turns Adam Smith on his head.

In our conversation, we explore:

  • The forgotten “splenetic” philosophy of Adam Smith, and how his Theory of Moral Sentiments challenges the popular notion of his economic vision

  • How the conflation of wealth with wisdom is bad for individuals, but great for society

  • How Adam Smith and Karl Marx agreed on false consciousness, but disagreed on what to do about it

  • Social dividends, public goods, UBI, and pencils as a great example of communism

Hope you enjoy!
