Features: When Adam Smith is mentioned, people know him as a great economist, renowned as the founder of British bourgeois classical political economy. His economic thought has not only had a significant impact on Western Europe but also on world capitalism. He first systematically expounded the basic principles of the labor theory of value, second established a complete system of bourgeois political economy, and third analyzed the operating mechanism of a "fully free" market economy. This book attempts to conduct a comprehensive study of Smith's ethical thought from three aspects: his theory of moral sentiments, economic ethics, and political ethics, thereby constructing a complete system of Smith's ethical thought.
