Description

Challenge the conventional view of Adam Smith as an isolated founder of modern economics with this scholarly examination that situates his work within its proper historical context. Originally published in 1988, this Routledge Library Edition reorients our understanding of Smith's contributions by revealing profound continuities between his economic theories and those of his predecessors and contemporaries. Rather than presenting Smith as a single-handed champion of free markets whose work revolutionised economic thought in isolation, this book demonstrates how his ideas emerged from and built upon earlier economic traditions. By contextualising Smith within the broader development of economic thought, the author provides readers with a more nuanced and accurate assessment of his true intellectual legacy and influence on the discipline of economics.

Key Features

Adam Smith's Economics examines the historical context of Smith's work to reveal connections with earlier economic thinkers and contemporary scholars.

This Routledge Library Edition challenges the misleading perception of Smith as an isolated founder and revolutioniser of modern economics.

The book reorients understanding of Smith's achievement by placing his economic theories within the development of economic thought over time.

Published by Routledge, this scholarly work provides a comprehensive reassessment of Smith's intellectual heritage and influence on economic theory.
