Adam Smith and his world view. Emerson said every writer needs a tough chaos deep soil. What was Adam Smith’s? We introduce the key elements of that world view and spend a fair amount of time introducing you to the idea that the ferocious Calvinism of the Presbyterian Scots was on the wane and a new God arose in its place. Far more important than the atheism of the Enlightenment was the new loving God that elbowed Calvin’s more logical one aside.
Some people just love Adam Smith. Why? We give you a reason. The next episodes will supply many more.
