Polity and Economy: Further Thoughts Principles of Adam Smith

Viac o knihe

"The intention of Polity and Economy is to present Adam Smith as author of liberal capitalism, as propounder within an order that converts the natural self-preference of every living thing into an instrument of goodness, prosperity, and freedom - as long as our deployment of natural means does not, in the organization and conduct of society, violate the truths of nature itself." This edition of Polity and Economy revises the original with cross-references from the standard Glasgow editions and adds two further essays not in the original: "Adam Smith and Political Philosophy" and "The Invisible Hand: Moral and Political Considerations."
