This standard biography of the founder of political economy provides indispensable background reading for the study of eighteenth century economic thought.

A Good Read,
This review is from: Life of Adam Smith (Paperback)
Not in the same league as 'The Life of Adam Smith' by Ross, it is still a very easy and good read about the life and times of the incomparable Adam Smith. Some of the chapters seem very brief, especially those that deal with his two great works: 'Wealth of Nations' and 'Theory of Moral Sentiments.'Well worth the buy!
