The Authentic Adam Smith: His Life and Ideas
James Buchan

Adam Smith is one of the most influential writers in recent history and one of the great thinkers of the Enlightenment. He was long ago adopted as the father of neo-conservative ideology and more recently New Labor has tried to kidnap him as an ancestor. James Buchan presents a masterly study of this Scottish philosopher and economist and his search for a just foundation for modern commercial society. What distinguishes Buchan's study is the easy, conversational tone which never makes its profound ideas and implications seem intimidating.
