Adam Smith wanted to increase happiness through this formula for a good life: equality, liberty, and justice. Free market interpretations of Smith, the book argues, grossly misrepresent his thought, emphasizing only liberty and not also equality and justice. This book suggests policies that combine all three in order for happiness to be maximized.Political scienceInternational economic relationsPolitical sciencePhilosophyPolitical planningPolitical TheoryInternational Political Economy’Political PhilosophyPublic PolicyPolitical science.International economic relations.Political sciencePhilosophy.Political planning.Political Theory.International Political Economy’.Political Philosophy.Public Policy.330.153Hill John Eauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut169498BOOK9910255317903321Adam Smith’s Equality and the Pursuit of Happiness2507513UNINA
