Abstract

Review The 18th-century Scottish economist Adam Smith published his most influential work, The Wealth of Nations, in 1776 - a year of singular historical resonance for Americans. Glory M. Liu's Adam Smith's America invites us to ponder how and why debates about Smith have raged with special passion in the United States. Liu focuses her work on political-academic interpretations of Smith but almost entirely omits the insights of economics, the discipline Smith arguably founded. [Extracted from the article]
