She believes the tradition created by pioneers like Smith offers a valuable way of considering the pressing economic challenges we face now. Some view economics as a technical subject, best left to experts. Others say it’s time to rediscover its origins – as an application of moral philosophy.
Sheila Dow:
Sheila is an economist. Her career has been spent mainly at the University of Stirling, where she is Professor Emeritus, but also in the government sector in the UK and Canada. Her research focuses on the history and methodology of economics, as well as on money and banking, regional finance and macroeconomics.
