A propos de cet article

Paperback. A radical reinterpretation of Adam Smith that challenges economists, moral philosophers, political theorists, and intellectual historians to rethink him and why he mattersAdam Smith has long been recognised as the father of modern economics. More recently, scholars have emphasised his standing as a moral philosopherone who was prepared to critique markets as well as to praise them. But Smiths contributions to political theory are still underappreciated and relatively neglected. In this bold, revisionary book, Paul Sagar argues that not only have the fundamentals of Smiths political thought been widely misunderstood, but that once we understand them correctly, our estimations of Smith as economist and as moral philosopher must radically change.Rather than seeing Smith either as the prophet of the free market, or as a moralist who thought the dangers of commerce lay primarily in the corrupting effects of trade, Sagar shows why Smith is more thoroughly a political thinker who made major contributions to the history of political thought. Smith, Sagar argues, saw war, not commerce, as the engine of political change and he was centrally concerned with the political, not moral, dimensions of and threats to commercial societies. In this light, the true contours and power of Smiths foundational contributions to western political thought emerge as never before.Offering major reinterpretations of Smiths political, moral, and economic ideas, Adam Smith Reconsidered seeks to revolutionise how he is understood. In doing so, it recovers Smiths original way of doing political theory, one rooted in the importance of history and the necessity of maintaining a realist sensibility, and from which we still have much to learn.
