Description
Christopher J. Berry provides an accessible overview of Adam Smith, one of history’s most influential thinkers. The book examines Smith’s foundational contributions to economics, including his concept of the invisible hand and division of labor, while also exploring his work in moral philosophy and political theory.
Beyond the popular misconceptions of Smith as a purely pro-capitalist theorist, Berry reveals the nuance and complexity of his thought. The volume considers how Smith’s ideas emerged from 18th-century Scotland and how they continue to resonate in contemporary debates about markets, morality, and society. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intellectual foundations of modern economic thought.
