    From oeconomy to `the economy': population and self-interest in discourses on government.Ann Firth - 1998 - History of the Human Sciences 11 (3):19-35.
    The emergence of population as an object of government in the 18th century produced a new problematic of government. The focus of this new problematic was how to ensure that the pursuit of self-interest by individual economic actors was compatible with the reproduction and useful employment of the population. From the 18th century to the present, government in the West has addressed this problem in a number of different ways, each of which represents a 'tricky adjust ment' between a liberal (...)

    Moral supervision and autonomous social order: wages and consumption in 18th-century economic thought.Ann Firth - 2002 - History of the Human Sciences 15 (1):39-57.
    Political oeconomy in the 18th century operated in the absence of the conception of an autonomous social order articulated in the later concepts of `the economy' and `society'. Without a self-sustaining mechanism oriented to stability and endogenous economic growth, national prosperity and social order were assumed to depend upon the detailed interventions in economic life that are characteristic of mercantilism and the police of the poor. Smith's theory that autonomous economic growth underpinned a stable order of social interdependencies based upon (...)

    Transcending the 'merely material': secular morality and progressive politics.Ann Firth - 2007 - History of the Human Sciences 20 (1):67-81.
    In the 18th century Adam Smith argued that in a commercial society based on the division of labour, a rising standard of living for all was possible and desirable. At the same time Smith regretted that a preoccupation with material goods and social status had displaced a more expansive notion of human nature. This tension is a recurrent theme in European social thought. It underlies the social vision of the architects of postwar reconstruction and the welfare state in Australia after (...)
