Adam Smith
Father of Economics
Jesse NormanPostscript summary
Jesse Norman’s biography argues that despite being known as the founding figure of economics Adam Smith is widely misunderstood. As well as his concept of the ‘invisible hand’ which is supposed to make free markets self-correcting, the book emphasizes the more charitable ‘helping hand’ of his Theory of Moral Sentiments, and explores his influence over the centuries on both right- and left-wing thinkers.
