More about the book

Focusing on modernity, this volume presents a critical confrontation with Adam Smith's ideas, arguing that while he laid the groundwork for modern, commercial, liberal society, his views fall short for those seeking a politically engaged understanding of contemporary issues. Michael Shapiro aims to exemplify a new approach to political theory that challenges conventional perspectives and celebrates diverse interpretations within the discipline. This innovative reading of Smith serves as a vehicle for broader discussions about political thought in the modern context.
