Although Smith lived in society that was far from globalized, he experienced the beginning of globalization. Smith considered the most developed society the commercial society: the society that results from people meeting with strangers. Among Enlightenment thinkers, Smith was one of the most important figures with respect to interaction in the world, and it is through his lens that the authors view the impact of the mixing of diverse peoples. Firstly, the book describes how Smith was influenced by information from around the world. Leaving eighteenth-century Europe, including Smith?s native Scotland, people travelled, traded, and immigrated to far-flung parts of the globe, sometimes writing books and pamphlets about their travels. Informed by these writers, Smith took into consideration the world beyond Europe and strangers with non-European backgrounds. Against that background, the book reinterprets Smith?s moral philosophy. In The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith developed his moral philosophy, in which he examined how people form opinions through their meetings with strangers. He researched how encounters with strangers created the sharing of social rules. As such, the book studies how Smith believed that people in dissimilar communities come to share common concepts of morality and justice. Lastly, it provides an innovative reading of Smith?s political economy. In The Wealth of Nations, Smith established the market model of economic society. However, he saw the limitations of that model since it does not consider the impact of money on economy and international trade. He also recognized the limitations of his own equilibrium theory of market, the theory that is still influential today. 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 606 $aInternational Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000 606 $aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W46000 606 $aEconomic Growth$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 676 $a330.153 700 $aNohara$b Shinji$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065112 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299650003321 996 $aCommerce and Strangers in Adam Smith$92543229 997 $aUNINA
