Adam Smith's theory on morals provides the philosophical bedrock for his future works on economics, including his most famous book The Wealth of Nations. Published in 1759, this work sees Smith follow the lead of his tutor and mentor Francis Hutcheson. He divides his ethical examinations into four broad categories: ethics and virtue; private rights and natural liberties; rights of the family; and state and individual rights. Although lesser known compared to Adam Smith's later works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments is an influential work of philosophy in its own right, with the greatest effect being upon its author.

Tiny font size and line spacing.

Tiny font size and line spacing.
The font sizing and line spacing in this printing make the book quite difficult to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A necessary context to Wealth of Nations

If I (or any defender or opponent of free market capitalism) had read this book before Wealth of Nations, I would have understood that Adam Smith proposed ethical restraints on one of the principles what became American democratic economy. A must read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap pulp paperback wrapped in a hard cover
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
3/8" margin between the top of the page and the first line of small text.
Printing all the way to the binding, maybe an 1/8" margin. You'd break the books back trying to read cover to cover.
Again, very small text.
I returned the "book".

2.0 out of 5 stars Binding And Print are Bad
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024
This is a review of the books physical quality not the textual content of the book. The binding and print are bad. Pages often fall out. There are also many print errors.
