Why Chosen

History seems to have forgotten that before Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, he published The Theory or Moral Sentiments. Many elements of our modern society and economy have developed with insights from the later work, while ignoring that it was meant to be viewed through the lens of the first work. Collier makes excellent points about how ethics and empathy are needed to soften the impact of pure capitalism.
