At the Adam Smith conference in Paris that I attended earlier this month (10 June; see here), historian Emma Rothschild (pictured below, along with the cover of her beautiful 2021 book An Infinite History) brought to my attention the following fact: between the publication of the second and third editions of his Wealth of Nations, the Scottish scholar published a separate 79-page pamphlet titled Additions and Corrections to the First and Second Editions of Dr. Adam Smith’s Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations in 1784. (Smith’s supplement is available here.) Suffice it to say that I finally got around to reading Smith’s pamphlet and will begin reviewing it here in the next or day two.
