Adam Smith was a philosopher before he ever wrote about economics, yet there has never been a philosophical commentary on the Wealth of Nations. This book suggests that Smith's vastly influential treatise on economics can be better understood if placed in the light of his epistemology, philosophy of science, and moral theory.
