Jovellanos and Adam Smith. On the phenomenon of influences in the history of economic thought
Abstract
Historiography usually distinguishes Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos as a Smithian author, particularly when judging the Informe de Ley Agraria. Professor Vicent Llombart refuted this assumption in the following pages, presented at a congress in Gerona in 1997, arguing that the elaboration of the analytical scaffolding of this report was prior to a close reading of The Wealth of Nations by the Asturian writer, and that the coincidence with some economic arguments of the Scottish author was the most probable cause of the new reading of this work as it appears manifested in his Diaries.
