Publisher Synopsis
Democracy, Equality and Justice is a passionate and innovative reinterpretation of the Revolutionary generation's political, economic, and social values. Drawing intellectual continuities between the work of John Adams and Adam Smith, Hill reconstructs the commercial humanism, strong sense of community, and republican virtue central to their ideas. Further, he argues that by revisiting and applying these values we might reform our own society. This is a valuable and refreshing contribution to the study of political economy, politics, and our many varieties of liberalism. -- Jose Torre, Author of The Political Economy of Sentiment: Paper Credit and the Scottish Enlightenment in Early Republic Boston, 1780-1820 This ambitious combination of intellectual history and social theory highlights neglected elements in the work of both John Adams and Adam Smith. Americans of all political stripes would profit from the wisdom in John Hill's book. -- Chris Beneke, Author of Beyond Toleration: The Religious Origins of American Pluralism, author of Beyond Toleration: The Religious Origins of American Pluralism Original and thoughtful. John Hill shows that John Adams and Adam Smith deserve to be reread for insights into contemporary problems of American government and foreign policy. -- David Bayley, Distinguished Professor, State University of New York at Albany Read more...
