Lectures on Jurisprudence

Adam Smith (1723-1790) was the founding father of modern economics. However, he also made pioneering contributions to a range of other disciplines. These lectures, originally delivered as a course at the University of Glasgow, present, in a concise, accessible form, the main arguments from his masterpiece The Wealth of Nations. They also present his important ideas about politics and the law, and the history of civil society. The transcriptions of the lectures were discovered, somewhat miraculously, long after Smith’s death. They were edited for publication by noted scholar Edward Cannan, and originally published by Oxford University Press.
