Synopsis:

In this book, James Buchan refutes much of what we think we know about Adam Smith and shows that, in fact, Smith transcends modern political categories. Along the way, we see Smith the man - his sometimes troubled friendship with David Hume, his urbanity, his hypochondria, and his sole Continental voyage, when he played chaperone to two of his wealthy students.
Buchan has drawn this portrait from twenty-five years of research, and he demonstrates that Smith's famous books, The Wealth of Nations and his 1759 masterpiece, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, are just the brilliant fragments of one of the most ambitious philosophical enterprises ever attempted: the search for a just foundation for modern commercial society both in private and in public.

About the Author: James Buchan, a novelist and historian, is the winner of the Duff Cooper Award for Frozen Desire. His most recent work is a study of Enlightenment Edinburgh, Crowded with Genius. He lives in Norwich, England.
