Description: Today Adam Smith, author of the Wealth of Nations, is associated with the promotion of self-interest and a defense of greed. Yet if Smith is actually read this is more a caricature than a faithful portrait. Berry offers a balanced and nuanced view of this seminal thinker, set against contemporary European history, politics, and philosophy.
