Description

This book revisits the moral and political philosophy of Adam Smith, capitalism's founding father, to recover his understanding of morality in a market age. Focusing on Smith's analysis of the psychological and social ills endemic to commercial society, Hanley argues Smith sought to combat corruption by cultivating the virtues of prudence, magnanimity and beneficence.
