About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1982. First edition of Campbell and Skinner's accessible study of the father of modern economics, Adam Smith. Octavo, original boards. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. The founding father of economics, Adam Smith's two great works The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments remain two of the most important contributions to the fields of philosophy and political economy. His lectures at the Scottish universities, which he referred to as 'the best seminaries of learning which are to be found anywhere in Europe', established him as one of the most influential teachers of his time. This biography of Smith presents both an intellectual and personal portrait of the man written by two of the world's foremost authorities on the great thinker and philosopher.
