First sentence: In the preceding celebrated passage from An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations Adam Smith gave classical expression to a thesis that continues to be of the deepest significance for both social scientific and philosophical inquiry.
Description: "The papers in this volume critically examine central aspects of the preceding social ethos underlying contemporary political economy and our increasingly globalized market culture. The inquiry is undertaken from a variety of disciplinary perspectives at the intersection of philosophy, economics, political science, sociology, psychology, and computer science."--BOOK JACKET.
