Rothschild on Adam Smith

[Peter Kosenko]

One of the experts on that issue is on the list.  Michael Perelman.  Has some good stuff on Smith here:

The Invention of Capitalism : Classical Political
Economy and the Secret History of Primitive Accumulation

Read it last year.

That's not exactly a puff (don't know how to write one), but it is a recommendation.
