| Summary: | This paper presents a reconstruction and interpretation of the process of change in Adam Smith’s philosophy basing on the example of changes in fashion. I shall focus on the role of imagination, as well as on the role of the wealthy in the process.

However, the processes of change will be regarded as an effect of individual behaviour and decisions that affect the society. |
