Wealth and Virtue reassesses the remarkable contribution of the
Scottish Enlightenment to the formation of modern economics and to
theories of capitalism. Its unique range indicates the scope of the
Scottish intellectual achievement of the eighteenth century and
explores the process by which the boundaries between economic
thought, jurisprudence, moral philosophy and theoretical history
came to be established. Dealing not only with major figures like
Hume and Smith, there are also studies of lesser known thinkers
like Andrew Fletcher, Gershom Carmichael, Lord Kames and John
Millar as well as of Locke in the light of eighteenth century
social theory, the intellectual culture of the University of
Edinburgh in the middle of the eighteenth century and of the
performance of the Scottish economy on the eve of the publication
of the Wealth of Nations. While the scholarly emphasis is on the
rigorous historical reconstruction of both theory and context,
Wealth and Virtue directly addresses itself to modern political
theorists and economists and throws light on a number of major
focal points of controversy in legal and political philosophy.
