For your refernce, below are links to my five-part review of Paul Sagar’s Adam Smith Reconsidered: History, Liberty, and the Foundations of Modern Politics (Princeton University Press, 2022):

1. The Real Das Adam Smith Problem? (review of the introduction)

2. Digression re: commercial society and Smith’s four-stages of history (review of chapter 1)

3. Law and liberty: an inverse relation (and the $64 question) (chapter 2)

4. Smith versus Rousseau (chapters 3 & 4)

5. Another Adam Smith Problem (chapter 5)

Last but not least, I will review the conclusion in the next day or two.
