Adam Smith in His Time and Ours - Designing the Decent Society (Paperback, Reissue)

Counter to the popular impression that Adam Smith was a champion of selfishness and greed, Jerry Muller shows that the "Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" maintained that markets served to promote the well-being of the populace and that government must intervene to counteract the negative effects of the pursuit of self-interest. Smith's analysis went beyond economics to embrace a larger "civilizing project" designed to create a more decent society.
