Sommario/riassunto

Adam Smith was a famous economist and moral philosopher. This book treats Smith also as a systematic philosopher with a distinct epistemology, an original theory of the passions, and a surprising philosophy mind. The author argues that there is a close, moral connection between Smith's systematic thought and his policy recommendations.
