Invisible Hand: The Wealth of Adam Smith

Invisible Hand: The Wealth of Adam Smith covers the main events in the life of this brilliant theorist, and explores the intellectual propositions of the founder of modern economics. A useful introductory tool for everyone interested in the history and evolution of ideas, this book shows that Smith was as much a moral philosopher as an economist. His works, The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments, complement each other. Adam Smith built the basis for a sound tradition of thought that defends freedom and common sense. He explored and developed ideas that are as valid and valuable today as they were when he wrote them.. Andrés Marroquín has a B.A. in Economics (Summa Cum Laude) from Universidad Francisco Marroquín in Guatemala. His personal web site is at http://www.andresmarroquin.com
