Summary:
Cox's Seeking Adam Smith provides a penetrating picture of how traditional economists were ill-informed and limited in their portrayal of the ideas of Adam Smith. He goes on to argue that their confusion resulted in substantial harm to our ethics and our economy. No one should reference Adam Smith without first actually reading the work of Adam Smith and also reading Cox's fascinating historical perspective. - Max H Bazerman, Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School and Co-Director, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard Kennedy School.
