Book
What Adam Smith knew : moral lessons on capitalism from its greatest champions and fiercest opponents / edited and introduced by James R. Otteson ; with a foreword by Allan H. Meltzer.
"This book provides some answers through seminal readings on the nature, purpose, and effects of capitalism as understood by its most influential expositors, both historical and contemporary. In addition to Adam Smith himself, the selections gathered here include essays and excerpts by thinkers ranging from Locke and Rousseau to Hayek and Cass Sunstein. All are chosen and arranged to highlight the ways that capitalism bears on a set of fundamental human concerns: liberty, equality, social order, virtue and motivation." --publisher's website
