Redivivus
One of the cool things about reading is how smart you get by doing it. I’m probably not the best example of this, but I’ve heard it’s true.
Today I ran into a new word, redivivus. It was in the following sentence dealing with economists, “But he was not simply Adam Smith redivivus.”
Hmm, what does it mean? Here’s your answer.
By the way, Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations is on the Carp 500, since everyone is thinking about economics right now. I would also point you to Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell for a good timely Carp read.
