В статье, представляющей собой стенограмму лекции, которая была прочитана по случаю 250-летия «Теории нравственных чувств» Адама Смита, автор, лауреат Нобелевской премии по экономике, размышляет об актуальности идей этого классика экономической науки. Он показывает, что Смит, в отличие от авторов, стремившихся отыскать идеальную систему институтов, предложил исторический подход к институциональным реформам. Подчеркивается значимость идей Смита о беспристрастности при этической оценке общественной жизни и организации справедливого общества.

In this paper that is a transcript of a lecture held to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith's "Theory of Moral Sentiments" the author who is a Nobel Prize winner in economics reflects on the relevance of this classic. He shows that Smith proposed a historical approach to institutional transformations as opposed to the authors who tried to advance a system of ideal institutions. The importance of Smith's views on impartiality in ethical evaluation of social conditions and in building a just society is also emphasized.
