Adam Smith's Discourse Canonicity, Commerce and Conscience

Adam Smith's name has become synonymous with free market economics; The Wealth of Nations is taken as the definitive account of the benefits of free competitive markets. Yet recent scholarship has challenged this view and given us a richer, more nuanced figure, steeped in the intricacies of enlightenment social and political philosophy. Adam Smith's Discourse both develops this literature and gives it a radical new extension by taking into account recent debates in literary theory.Brown, Vivienne is the author of 'Adam Smith's Discourse Canonicity, Commerce and Conscience' with ISBN 9780415095938 and ISBN 041509593X.
