Description
Adam Smith: A Balanced View of Economics and Ethics Adam Smith is widely regarded as the "father of economics", but his ideas are often misunderstood. In this Very Short Introduction, Christopher Berry offers a nuanced view of Smith's life and work, revealing a complex thinker who was more than just an economist. Berry explores Smith's contributions to philosophy, history, literature, and language, as well as his two major works: The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiment. He shows how Smith's ideas continue to be relevant today, offering insights into the human condition and the motivations that drive us to seek answers to life's big questions. This introduction provides a balanced view of Smith's work, moving beyond common caricatures to reveal a rich and diverse body of thought.
