Recensioner i media

"Drawing on the work of Karl Marx, Adam Smith, and Aristotle, this work delves into what economists and philosophers have said about commodity exchange and its meaning for society. The author examines Smith’s analysis of exchange in Smith’s Wealth of Nations, and presents a critique of Smith’s market sense inspired by Marx. He examines various types of exchange as distinguished by non-liberal scholars, and considers the current debate over globalization." --Reference & Research Book News
