Some economic scholars who have studied Adam Smith's ideas and books—and it was a couple of hundred years ago when he wrote those—are saying that his teachings included prudence—and as economists we're very good at practising prudence today—but that perhaps we've forgotten some of the other virtues he mentioned, such as compassion, fair trade, justice, and so on.
D'éminents économistes qui ont étudié les écrits et les idées d'Adam Smith—qui remontent à il y a deux cents ans—nous disent qu'il préconisait la prudence—et les économistes savent très bien pratiquer la prudence de nos jours—mais nous avons peut-être oublié certaines des autres vertus qu'il prônait, telles que la compassion, le commerce équitable, la justice, etc.
