Line 62: * '''''Adam Smith Works''':'' A recent contribution by Liberty Fund has been the investigation of the scholarship of Adam Smith, Scottish Enlightenment economist and philosopher. To further the exploration of Smith's works, Liberty Fund received a multi-million grant from the John Templeton Foundation in 2016 to spearhead conferences, host scholars, and create a website around Adam Smith's life and scholarship, notably Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and Wealth of Nations (1776). This is a website that includes educational tools for use by elementary, middle school, high school, and college students. It includes Smith's Lectures on Jurisprudence and writings on astronomy, ancient logic, and ancient physics. Much attention is given to Adam Smith's most known and important works: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and The Wealth of Nations (1776). (www.adamsmithworks.org) * '''''Library of Economics and Liberty (Econlib.org)''''' ~~== Reception ==~~ In his book ''[[The Assault on Reason]]'', former U.S. Vice President and presidential candidate [[Al Gore]] wrote that between 2002 and 2004, 97% of the attendees at Liberty Fund training seminars for judges were [[Republican Party (United States)\|Republican]] administration appointees. Gore suggests that such conferences and seminars are one of the reasons that judges who regularly attend such conferences "are generally responsible for writing the most radical pro-corporate, antienvironmental, and activist decisions". Referring to what he calls the "Big Three"—the [[Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment]], [[George Mason University]]'s Law & Economics Center, and the Liberty Fund—Gore adds, "These groups are not providing unbiased judicial education. They are giving multithousand-dollar vacations to federal judges to promote their [[Far-right politics\|radical right-wing]] agenda at the expense of the public interest."<ref>{{cite book \|last=Gore \|first=Al \|url=https://archive.org/details/assaultonreason00gore_0 \|title=The Assault on Reason \|publisher=Penguin Press \|year=2007 \|isbn=978-1594201226 \|page=[https://archive.org/details/assaultonreason00gore_0/page/234 234] \|quote=Liberty Fund . \|url-access=registration}}</ref> == See also ==
