Notes

Smith's thinking contained many radical elements that became popular first in the 1780s with French physiocrats such as Turgot and later with revolutionary thinkers of all descriptions. Smith was widely interpreted and re-interpreted depending on the circumstances.

For the different readings of Smith's Wealth of Nations during this period see Richard Whatmore, "Adam Smith's Role in the French Revolution," Past & Present no. 175 (2002): 65-89, https://www.jstor.org/stable/3600768.
