This issue of www.olafinanciera.unam.mx pays tribute to Adam Smith where it problematizes and updates his already complex and diverse thought, which goes from Theory of Moral Sentiments to An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The objective outlined here is to expand and disseminate his thought, but also to demystify the image that both neoclassical thought and so-called neoliberalism have made, or rather, have distorted and deformed to the point of complete disfigurement. In this perspective, academics from different geographical and thematic points undertake this task of current reflection of a classic, in this case of economics as political economy.
