Reading 'Adam Smith'

Meer over het boek

Focusing on modernity, this volume by Michael Shapiro engages with Adam Smith's ideas not as a traditional analysis but as a critical confrontation. It explores how Smith contributed to the foundations of modern, commercial, liberal, and democratic society while arguing that his views fall short for those seeking a more politicized understanding of contemporary issues. Shapiro aims to exemplify a new approach to political theory that challenges conventional interpretations and celebrates a more dynamic discourse within the field.
