Adam Smith's system of liberty, wealth, and virtue : the moral and political foundations of The wealth of nations

Author:	Athol Fitzgibbons
Publisher:	Oxford : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press, 1995.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Adam Smith's System of Liberty, Wealth, and Virtue analyses the influence of Smith's philosophy on his economic theories. It considers the significance of his Stoic beliefs, and examines his theories of art and science, of law and rhetoric, and of history, politics, and war. It shows how Smith based his system of thought on the heretical moral notion that virtue was relevant to this world rather than the next. Smith believed that unworldly philosophies were inherently authoritarian, because they were unable to harness the force of self-love productively.

Smith's theories of free trade, economic growth, and alienation, which constitute the substance of The Wealth of Nations, were all formally derived from his liberalized interpretation of ancient virtue.  Read more...
