“Adam Smith’s Money World,” public television’s weekly look at business, will run this fall on Soviet television, dubbed in Russian.

“Adam Smith has come to the land of Karl Marx,” said the show’s host, George J. W. Goodman, who uses the name of the 18th-Century Scottish economist who outlined the workings of capitalism.

Co Star, a Soviet company that produces and distributes films, will get the broadcast rights to “Money World” and sell advertising to U.S. companies doing business in the Soviet Union. Those companies include General Motors and AT&T.;

In return, the show’s U.S. producers will get technical support for a public TV special on perestroika and glasnost.
