摘要

繁荣的原因是什么？除了分工、储蓄、资本积累和良好的制度之外，亚当·斯密还通过虚荣和运气来解释富裕，这两个变量我们今天往往会忘记。对史密斯来说，财富来自于我们改善状况的倾向，再加上自由和法律的保障。改善我们状况的倾向是基于我们的虚荣心，可以表现为吝啬和挥霍。保障自由和安全的法律似乎更多的是历史的偶然，而不是蓄意创造繁荣的企图。对史密斯来说，虚荣和事故在经济增长中起着重要作用。

Vanity and Luck in Adam Smith's Economic Growth

What are the causes of prosperity? In addition to the division of labor, saving, capital accumulation, and good institutions, Adam Smith explains opulence through vanity and luck, two variables we tend to forget today. For Smith, wealth comes from our propensity to better our condition, combined with freedom and the security of the law. The propensity to better our condition is grounded in our vanity and can take the form of both parsimony and prodigality. The laws that guarantee freedom and security seem to be more of an accident of history than deliberate attempts to create prosperity. For Smith, vanity and accidents play a relevant role in economic growth.
