Features: The book Saving Adam Smith attempts to discuss this issue in the form of an "academic" fantasy novel. In the book, the "father of economics" guides readers to explore the global economy and the moral roots that support it. International trade and specialization are the cornerstones of wealth creation in business, but Smith powerfully warns that free societies and markets are potentially threatened by people's indifference to fundamental principles—lacking focus on justice and moral development. A significant factor is involved in whether the trade system, with minimal government intervention, is sufficient to support the survival and development of humanity across generations. The father of modern economics, Adam Smith, passed away two centuries ago (1790), but today, his soul cannot rest in peace due to all that he has witnessed on Earth. Thus, he possesses a Virginia immigrant technician and returns to the world. He stands before us vividly—not only magnanimous and sharp in speech but also candid and uncompromising. Has he gone mad? At first, Richard Burns, a doctoral student, indeed thought so. But after following Smith through a thrilling adventure, he discovers Smith's profound insights into the market. However, can Burns and Smith escape all the trials and ultimately reveal the truth to the world?
