Thus far this week I have written up and posted several short reviews (i.e. “micro reviews”) of some of the works that I have been reading this holiday season. The last book on my list, however — Paul Sagar’s new work Adam Smith Reconsidered, pictured below — is so good and so dense (in the good sense of the word) that it deserves an in-depth, multi-part review of its own. Starting tomorrow, then, we will begin reviewing each of the chapters in Sagar’s excellent book, one-by-one, beginning with the Introduction. I can’t think of a better way of ending the old year and starting off the new one.
