SUMMARY
Counter to the popular impression that Adam Smith was a champion of selfishness and greed, Jerry Muller shows that the "Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" maintained that markets served to promote the well-being of the populace and that government must intervene to counteract the negative effects of the pursuit of self-interest. Smith's analysis went beyond economics to embrace a larger "civilizing project" designed to create a more decent society.Muller, Jerry Z. is the author of 'Adam Smith in His Time and Ours: Designing the Decent Society - Jerry Z. Muller - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780029222348 and ISBN 0029222346.
