TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that Adam Smith endorsed only the second interpretation of the law of reflux and that the motivation for Smith to endorse the real-bills doctrine was his belief that banks were subject to what John Fullarton would later call the Law of Reflux.
Abstract: This chapter considers the law of reflux and its alternative interpretations: (1) as a monetary policy rule for stabilizing the price level and (2) as rule for individual banks to follow to remain liquid. The chapter argues that Adam Smith endorsed only the second interpretation, and that the motivation for Smith to endorse the real-bills doctrine was his belief that banks were subject to what John Fullarton would later call the law of reflux. The paper discusses Smith’s reasoning in support of the real-bills doctrine in comparison to Fullarton’s analysis of the law of reflux as well as Fullarton’s equivocal attitude toward the real-bills doctrine.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The United States increasingly looks, walks, and talks like an empire and it should therefore heed the lessons of its predecessors, exercising strong and determined global leadership as discussed by the authors. But it must avoid the temptation to meddle when American interests are not at stake.
Abstract: The United States increasingly looks, walks, and talks like an empire. It should therefore heed the lessons of its predecessors, exercising strong and determined global leadership. At the same time, it must avoid the temptation to meddle when American interests are not at stake. This means, among other things, dropping the doctrine of universal democracy promotion.
