Sinopsis

In this reexamination of the political legacy of Adam Smith, McLean argues that Smith was a radical egalitarian and that his work supported the ideas behind the French Revolution and hisáTheory of Moral Sentiments crystallized the radically egalitarian philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment.áBringing Smith into full view, showing how much of modern economics and political scienceáwas influenced by the Scottish thinker, andálocating his intellectual heritage firmly within the context of the Enlightenment, McLean addresses the international links between American, French, and Scottish histories of political thought.
