Adam Smith Writes to 2026 America is a monthly letter series for Freedom Frequency, written by Hoover fellow Ross Levine, that reconstructs Adam Smith’s arguments—in his own voice—to address enduring questions about markets, power, justice, and the institutions that sustain a free society. Grounded directly in The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments, the series invites readers to engage Smith as a serious thinker, not a slogan, at a moment when his insights feel newly urgent.
