Preparing for the Journey

In: SEEKING ADAM SMITH Finding The Shadow Curriculum of Business

Author

Listed:
  • Eli P Cox III

Abstract

Some background information should make more comprehensible the journey I am about to describe. I start by providing a short biography of Adam Smith and a brief description of Wealth of Nations and his other works. I continue by defining greed because the term has been used carelessly and it is central to this book.
