Adam Smith turned economic theory on its head in 1776 when he declared that the pursuit of self-interest mediated by the market itself - not by government - led, via an invisible hand, to the greatest possible welfare for society as a whole. This title examines how subsequent economic thinkers have challenged or reaffirmed Smith's doctrine.
