Description

Iain McLean reexamines the novel legacy of AdamSmith, arguing that Smith was once a thorough egalitarian and that his work supported all three of the slogans of the French Revolution: liberty, equality, and fraternity. McLean means that Smith’s The Theory of Ethical Sentiments , printed in 1759, crystallized the radically egalitarian philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment. This book brings Smith into full view, showing how much of up to date economics and political science is in Smith. The writer locates Smith’s heritage firmly throughout the context of the Enlightenment, at the same time as addressing the international links between American, French, and Scottish histories of political thought.
