Wall-E Film and Adam Smith's View?
‘A Robot who offers renewal’ by Michael Gerson at Washington Post.com HERE:
“Some conservatives have dismissed "Wall-E" as a crude critique of business and capitalism. This is true only if capitalism is identical to boundless consumerism -- a conviction that Adam Smith did not seem to share. Smith argued that human flourishing requires "good temper and moderation." Self-command and the prudent use of freedom are central to his moral theory. And these are precisely the virtues celebrated in "Wall-E."
Comment
Broadly correct. I haven’t seen the film so I cannot comment on its ‘message’ and how it relates to Adam Smith.
You can read the review for yourself.
