Text of Note

Focusing on Smith's analysis of the psychological and social ills endemic to commercial society--anxiety and restlessness, inauthenticity and mediocrity, alienation and individualism--the book argues that Smith sought to combat corruption by cultivating the virtues of prudence, magnanimity, and beneficence. --from publisher description.
