<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Celebrated author James Buchan breathes new life into the legacy of Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790) and the beginnings of modern economics in this engaging biography.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Adam Smith (1723-1790) has been adopted by neoconservatives as the ideological father of unregulated business and small government. His invisible hand has become a commanding shorthand for politicians promoting laissez-faire economics, but Smith never used it in reference to free-market capitalism. Smith was a deeply moral man who considered himself a philosopher, not an economist. Drawing on twenty-five years of research, James Buchan renders an Adam Smith untainted by political and economic interests. This compelling narrative uncovers Smith's passionate commitment to develop an ethical theory essential to his vision of a just commercial society.
