Adam Smith Reconsidered: History, Liberty, and the Foundations of Modern Politics: by Paul Sagar, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 248 pp, ISBN: 9780691210834, Publication Date: 2022

ABSTRACT

Smith, argues Sagar, is more concerned with politics than morality, his work attuned to political struggles generating our ways of life and value orders. It remains commonplace to meet academics who still view Adam Smith as an egoist, a theorist of self-interest.
