Review

In this important and elegant work Richard Morgan explains the continuing relevance of Adam Smith and why it was governments, not Smith, that caused the global financial crisis. (John Roskam )

In light of the 2008 financial crisis, this book reminds us of how relevant Smith's thought remains as a pathway to the future that avoids the errors of the recent past. (Samuel Gregg )
