Omschrijving
This splendid book not only presents an excellent introduction to the life and ideas of Adam Smith, but also explains why - and how - Smith's insights can help us solve some of the most difficult social and economic problems of the contemporary world. Smith loved lucidity and relevance, and I think he would have been very happy with Norman's book.

Masterly ... amid the superficiality and hysterics of modern British politics, an admirably thoughtful brain is lurking
An important work of revisionist biography with a direct and important impact on the intellectual underpinnings of liberal free-market thought
Superb ... Norman succeeds in demonstrating the coherence and subtlety of Adam Smith's thought
A remarkable and intensely readable book ... a rejoinder to those who fear that the intellectual has disappeared from politics
This book is well-written, well-argued and intensely thought-provoking, and it will rightly raise Smith's posthumous reputation
Jesse Norman is the Member of Parliament for Hereford and South Herefordshire. He read classics at Oxford and completed a masters and a doctorate in Philosophy from University College London.

His previous books include a celebrated study of Edmund Burke.
