Klappentext zu „The Life of Adam Smith “
This new edition of The Life of Adam Smith remains the only book to give a full account of Smith's life whilst also placing his work into the context of his life and times. Updated to include new scholarship which has recently come to light, this full-scale biography of Adam Smith examines the personality, career, and social and intellectual circumstances of the Scottish moral philosopher regarded as the founder of scientific economics, whose legacy ofthought - most notably about the free market and the role of the state - concerns us all. Ian Simpson Ross draws on correspondence, archival documents, the reports of contemporaries, and the record of Smith's publications to fashion a lively account of Adam Smith as a man of letters, moralist, historian, and
critic, as well as an economist. Supported with full scholarly apparatus for students and academics, the book also offers 20 halftone illustrations representing Smith and the world in which he lived.

Rezension zu „The Life of Adam Smith “
Review from previous edition 'The definitive biography for modern times ... there is always the pleasure of digging up, then showing off facts so far undiscovered, and Ross has certainly been diligent in that respect. He clears up many small obscurities, rounds out accounts of various matters in greater detail and sometimes introduces material of genuine importance.' s Glasgow Herald
