FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A contemporary interpretation of Adam Smiths work on jurisprudence, revealing Smiths belief that progress emerges from cooperation and a commitment to justice. In Smiths theory, the tension between self–interest and the interests of others is mediated by law, so that the common interest of the community can be promoted. Moreover, Smith informs us that successful societies do at least three things well. They promote the common interest, advance justice through the rule of law, and they facilitate our natural desire to truck, barter, and exchange. In this process, law functions as an invisible force that holds society together and keeps it operating smoothly and productively. Law enhances social cooperation, facilitates trade, and extends the market. In these ways, law functions like Adam Smiths invisible hand, guiding and facilitating the progress of humankind.

Review … the book is, as a whole, both a rigorous study of the work of Adam Smith and an ambitious experiment to refect, in the thought of a master of the past, tensions and contradictions of the present. Luca Arnaudo, History of Economic IdeasThe overall analysis of this brief, yet compelling work is akin to revising the whole conception of Adam Smith on law and justice. Given the fact that Adam Smith did not develop a theory of jurisprudence, the task carried out by the author is an undaunted one, which duly deserves to be appreciated.
