The economy and ethics are treated as two main issues in our contemporary economic society. The relationship between them is interdependent but closely linked. People are puzzled about the moral dilemmas in the practice of social economy. As we know that the essence of human beings is sociality. The basic existence of Human beings depends on the form class. Then they exist in the form of individual. So people are always asked to choose "selfish" or "altruism", To deal with the relation between "selfish" and "altruism" in economic and social practice is of great significance to promote the development of the economy.The point of view is that the relationship between economy and ethics from Adam Smith is unique and profound among many economic ethics theory and research method. Faced with the British social reality in 18th century, Adam Smith discussed the basic social problem about economic, society, ethical and legal system, such as using the "sympathy" and the principle of "invisible hand" to integrate the beneficial and harmonious human society orderly. That is initially formed the theory of social market, economic and moral theory. So to discover the essence of Adam Smith’s economy and ethical theory in the modern market economy is of great importance in practice and exploration.This paper around the contradiction between economy and ethics, contemporary society to explore Smith in "the wealth of nations" and "moral sentiments" the connotation of "the Adam Smith problem", the "Adam Smith problem" in contemporary China’s new form and cracking. Paper first to Smith’s age background and thought origin is analyzed.17-18th-century Britain as a way of social production and social system is in transition, the feudal nature of the guild gradually collapse, handicraft industry workshop handicraft industry get rapid development of capitalism, farmers and the feudal aristocracy sharply divided and the rapid development of the rising bourgeoisie, have huge development of productivity, which constitute the era background of the doctrine of Smith. Hume’s theory of sympathy and free trade theory, hutchison moral thoughts, mandeville "private evil that public interest" and the natural order of the French physiocratic, together form the theory premise of Smith’s economic ethics says. Secondly based on the analysis of Smith in "the wealth of nations" and "moral sentiments" theory of egoism and altruism, it is concluded that "Adam Smith problem" is a pseudo problem in theory, but in real life is a real problem. Smith borrowed from Smith to solve this problem in the theory of "invisible hand" of market regulation and "sympathy" bystander effect on moral constraints, put forward the solution of "the Adam Smith problem". Again, review the historical interpretation of "the Adam Smith problem" and the internal logic level. Analysis of the German historical school, marginal utility school and Marx to the understanding of the "Adam Smith problem". From "the wealth of nations" and "moral sentiments" Adam Smith problem ", between the capitalist society economic and moral "Adam Smith problem" and the "Adam Smith problem" facing the common human society, from the three levels to interpret the logical connotation of "the Adam Smith problem". Finally, the "Adam Smith problem" in contemporary Chinese society in the new form and crack, puts forward to maintaining the order of the socialist market economy under the rule of law, reasonable to ethics construction to promote social development, to the specification of the supervision and management to strengthen the moral system and so on to solve the "Adam Smith problem" that exist in the real life.
