How has Adam Smith’s Wealth Of Nations and his idea of the ‘invisible hand’ been misunderstood and appropriated by the Adam Smith Institute.
This conversation explores his Theory of Moral Sentiments and the work of his colleague David Hume on debt and default. It also looks ahead to how other economists have considered the role of markets, in particular Hayek and Friedman.
