Abstract

[fre] Etre ou ne pas être smithien en 1804. Le cas lord Peter King. . Dans ses Thoughts on the Effects of the Bank Restrictions, King fait la critique des critiques que Thornton adresse à Smith. Ceci pourrait laisser penser qu'en 1804 la ligne de front théorique passe entre smithiens et anti-smithiens. Cepen­dant, une lecture plus approfondie révèle que King et Thornton appartiennent en fait à un même cadre conceptuel qui doit plus à Hume qu'à Smith. On est donc conduit à s'interroger sur ce qui motive King à s'ériger en gardien d'un prétendu temple smithien. [eng] To be or not to be Smithian in 1804 : Lord Peter king's case. . King devotes a great part of his Thought on the Effects of the Bank Restrictions to criticizing Thornton's criticisms of Wealth of Nations. This could induce to beleive that the theoretical demarcation line, in 1804, is between the advocates of and the opponents of Smith'ideas. But reading more carefully the Thoughts reveals that King and Thornton belongs indeed to the same monetary conceptual framework which is more Humian than Smithian.Therefore, one has to explain why and how King can pretend to be the gardian of a Smithian temple.
