Think of it as a hardcover blog, in which O Rourke cites Smith s essential points, and riffs while preaching Smithian doctrine … this book is well worth reading. You ll pick up a few good lines, you ll see a primo stylist at work. And you ll see why Adam Smith is so often quoted but so rarely read.
