Adam Smith (1723-90) is a thinker with a distinctive perspective on human behaviour and social institutions. He is best known as the author of the An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). Yet his work is name-checked more often than it is read and then typically it is of an uninformed nature; that he is an apologist for capitalism, a forceful promoter of self-interest, a defender of greed and a critic of any 'interference' in market transactions. To offset this caricature, this Handbook provides an informed portrait. Drawing on the expertise of leading Smith scholars from around the world, it reflects the depth and breadth of Smith's intellectual interests. After an introductory outline chapter on Smith's life and times, the volume comprises 28 new essays divided into seven parts. Five sections are devoted to particular themes in Smith's corpus - his views on Language, Art and Culture; his Moral Philosophy; his Economic thought, his discussions of History and Politics and his analyses of Social Relations. These five parts are framed by one that focuses on the immediate and proximate sources of his thought and the final one that recognizes Smith's status as a thinker of world-historical significance - indicating both his posthumous impact and influence and his contemporary resonance. While each chapter is a discrete contribution to scholarship, the Handbook comprises a composite whole to enable the full range of Smith's work to be appreciated.

PART I: ADAM SMITH: HERITAGE AND CONTEMPORARIES ; PART II: ADAM SMITH ON LANGUAGE, ART, AND CULTURE ; PART III: ADAM SMITH AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY ; PART IV: ADAM SMITH AND ECONOMICS ; PART V: ADAM SMITH ON HISTORY AND POLITICS ; PART VI: ADAM SMITH ON SOCIAL RELATIONS ; PART VII: ADAM SMITH: LEGACY AND INFLUENCE
