Adam Smith (1721-90) is a thinker with a distinctive perspective on human behaviour
and social institutions. He is best known as the author of the 'An Inquiry into the
Nature' and 'Causes of the Wealth of Nations' (1776). Yet his work is name-checked
more often than it is read and then typically it is of an uninformed nature; that
he is an apologist for capitalism, a forceful promoter of self-interest, a defender
of greed and a critic of any 'interference' in market transactions. To offset this
caricature, this 'Handbook' provides an informed portrait. Drawing on the expertise
of leading Smith scholars from around the world, it reflects the depth and breadth
of Smith's intellectual interests. After an introductory outline chapter on Smith's
life and times, the volume comprises 28 new essays divided into seven parts. Five
sections are devoted to particular themes in Smith's corpus - his views on Language,
Art and Culture; his Moral Philosophy; his Economic thought, his discussions of History
and Politics and his analyses of Social Relations
