Abstract

ABSTRACT Some recent literature has rediscovered the Italian tradition of “civil economy”. This literature has underlined how the discourse about virtues and vices was fundamental in order to establish how, in a political and economic context, a harmonious order could be established. On the basis of this main focus on virtues and vices, it was stated that Genovesi's thought is essentially different from Smith's one. In this article, I argue that the direct focus on questions of virtues and vices does not help capture the novelty introduced by these authors and the relational value of their agency theory.

超越美德与罪恶:安东尼奥·吉诺维斯和亚当·斯密的“关系科学”

最近的一些文献重新发现了意大利的“市民经济”传统。这些文献强调了关于美德和罪恶的论述是如何在政治和经济背景下建立和谐秩序的基础。基于对美德和罪恶的主要关注，吉诺维斯的思想与史密斯的思想有本质的不同。在这篇文章中，我认为直接关注美德和罪恶的问题无助于捕捉这些作者所引入的新颖性和他们的代理理论的关系价值。

期刊介绍： The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought (EJHET), a peer-reviewed journal, has quickly established itself as a leading forum for lively discussion on a wide range of issues in the history of economic thought. With contributions from both established international scholars and younger academics, EJHET is entirely pluralist and non-partisan with regard to subjects and methodologies - it does not subscribe to any particular current of thought, nor relate to any one geographic zone. The Managing Editors and Editorial Board and Advisory Board members are drawn from throughout Europe and beyond, and are committed to encouraging scholars from around the world to contribute to international research and debate.
