Adam Smith, who has towered over economics for more than two
hundred years, was not alone in Scotland in creating systems of
analysis which would explain how economies function and prosper.
Writers of various backgrounds - there being no such profession as
'economist' - who were inspired by issues of the day as well as by
the writings of Smith and other Scots, made significant
contributions to the development of economic theory and policy that
are often overlooked today. In the Shadow of Adam Smith, a landmark
work in the history of economic thought, surveys and integrates the
ideas of eighty Scottish writers from the 18th and 19th centuries
to reveal a startlingly rich tapestry of argument and debate on a
wide variety of economic subjects, both philosophical and
practical, that remain highly pertinent today. Government debt,
economic growth, banking, credit, taxation - all were tackled by
this remarkable, diverse collection of writers. Through reading
their contributions to economics we both understand modern economic
issues and thought more deeply, and gain a richer understanding of
Adam Smith's thought and inheritance. Written in a crisp and
readable style with a minimum of technical detail, this is an ideal
book for students of the history of economics, as well as academics
and general readers.
