On his deathbed, Adam Smith ordered the burning of two unfinished works on epistemology and politics, fearing that his image as a philosopher would be tarnished and his ideas misinterpreted. This book argues that the inability to complete these two works is symptomatic of tensions for which Smith found no resolution.
