Opis produktu

Jesse Norman is the Member of Parliament for Hereford and South Herefordshire. He read classics at Oxford and completed a masters and a doctorate in Philosophy from University College London. Before entering politics he ran an educational project working in Communist Eastern Europe and was a director at Barclays. He has been an Honorary Fellow at UCL a Governor of the National Institute for Economic and Social Research and a Visiting Fellow at All Souls Oxford. His previous books include a celebrated study of Edmund Burke.This splendid book not only presents an excellent introduction to the life and ideas of Adam Smith but also explains why and how Smiths insights can help us solve some of the most difficult social and economic problems of the contemporary world.

It dispels the myths and debunks the caricatures that have grown up around Adam Smith. It explores Smiths ideas in detail from ethics to law to economics and government and the impact of those ideas on thinkers as diverse as Karl Marx Charles Darwin John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek.
