AN AUTHENTIC ACCOUNT OF ADAM SMITH - GAVIN KENN...

This book is a textual criticism of modern ideas about the work of Adam Smith that offers a new
perspective on many of his famous contributions to economic thought. Adam Smith is often hailed
as a leading figure in the development of economic theories  but modern presentations of his
works do not reflect Smith's actual ideas or influence during his lifetime.Gavin Kennedy
believes that Smith's name and legacy were often appropriated or made into myths in the 19th
and 20th centuries  with many misconceptions persisting today. Offering new analysis of works
on rhetoric  moral sentiments  jurisprudence  the invisible hand  The Wealth of Nations  and
Smith's very private views on religion  the book gives a new perspective on this important
canonical thinker
